Historic Center of Massa
Highlight • Historical Site
You see this everywhere in the old city: fountains, curbs, house sills, window frames are made of white marble.
Marble is literally and figuratively the cornerstone of the community here. Almost everyone here lives from the proceeds of white gold. You see marble everywhere in Italy and almost all of that marble comes from the quarries of Massa.
For centuries, artists and sculptors managed to find their perfect blocks here. Michelangelo was a regular in this area. He personally came to select 'his' marble blocks.
Know that in this region around Massa - Carrara there are about 300 marble quarries, most of which are still being exploded.
We start our discovery in the religious heart of the city. Like accomplished seminarians, we stride past 18th-century palazzi and white-paved marble squares. Triggered by history, we hoped to reach our climax at Castello Malaspina. Unfortunately, due to closure, we return to square one hungry...
Chiesa di San Sebastiano is certainly worth mentioning. Contemporary murals tell Biblical stories and can be understood in all languages.
Spiritually satisfied and dazzled by splendor and splendor, our Mass story ends in the Chiesa di San Sebastiano.

View of Altagnana and the coast from Pian delle Fioba
Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint
The section behind Altagnana makes the Vestito one of the most beautiful passes I know.
First, it goes into a narrow valley section. Coming up to Antona, the view widens again and you have a nice view of Altagnana, which you have just passed through.
The higher you get, the farther the view will be, until the sea becomes visible behind the plain before Massa.
In the upper part of the road pulls in beautiful serpentines up the steep slope and there are first marble breaks in the field of view.
