The quarries are literally the cancer of the Apuan Alps. A metastasizing cancer that has spread everywhere, causing devastation of the territory and pollution.
They made the mountains disappear by changing the orographic aspect of the territory and polluted the aquifers when they did not actually extinguish them. Not to mention the damage to flora and fauna.
An unquantifiable and irreparable damage. Mountains don't grow back.
Promoting tourism to go and see the quarries is only a contribution to devastation and pollution.
Furthermore, the scenario that opens up in front of the mural, which in itself is nothing special, is literally apocalyptic. One can only admire how vile man can be and what he is willing to do for economic interests.
With all the beauty that there is in the Apuan Alps, going there to see the quarries is like going to a city of art to see the shopping center and support consumerism. Instead of getting rich, we become impoverished, in every sense.
You just have to be poor inside.

🏔️ COLUMNED. KOBRA'S DAVID.
In the heart of the Apuan Alps, near the small village of Colonnata famous for its lard, an extraordinary work of art is hidden: the mural of David of Kobra. Created by the Brazilian artist Eduardo Kobra, this immense mural portrays Michelangelo's David in a super colorful and modern version, approximately 10 meters high. Despite its grandeur, it remains hidden in the mountains and only becomes visible when you get closer. The Cima di Gioia Quarry, where the mural is located, offers a spectacular view of the mountains, the quarries and the Tyrrhenian Sea. The route is the CAI 195 path, a real mountain trek that starts from the small square of Colonnata. Through Via del Giardino and a path that enters the woods, the path climbs for about 500 meters in altitude. After a walk of about an hour, you arrive at the crest with a breathtaking view, until you emerge in front of the mural.
