So this is where the fabled "Italian marble" comes from.

The place is staggering, both from close distance or from kms/miles away.
Well done, Sandro!

Thank you Rajan! These are the "Cervaiole caves", where Michelangelo picked the blocks for his statues.
Very fascinating place (all that white.....almost a glacier) but also a disaster (every year many metres of mountain disappear).
