    A gallery with a majestic entrance and height. The square cuts in the walls and ceiling reveal the stone extraction process: first, a layer of wall was isolated, cutting deeply along the entire perimeter; then, non-invasive explosives and metal pins were used to collapse the hidden facade and detach the enormous block.

    It is one of the many quarries in the Berici Hills (known as 'priàre' in Venetian dialect) for the extraction of the prized Vicenza stone, widely used and appreciated in architecture. Some quarries (like this one) have been abandoned; others are still active; and still others have been converted for various uses.
