This tour features the medieval-walled town of Lucca and a visit to a town famous for its marble sculptors, as we travel through the beautiful Appuan Alps where the fanous Carrar marble is quarried. We'll drive up into the Appuan Alps to visit the enchanting village of Pietrasanta. The village is famous for its marble sculptors who work on marble quarried in the nearby hills.
