Description
Barga. View from the mediaeval Tuscan town of Barga across the Serchio river valley, towards the summit of Pania Secca (1171 metres) in the Apuan Alps, Italy. This rugged range of mountains along the northern Tuscan coast is primarily made up of marble and other metamorphic carbonate rocks. The Apuan Alps is a leading source of high-grade, statue-quality white marble. Michelangelo used marble from nearby Carrara for his sculptures.
