synopsis

The Apuan Alps are an island of rock and biodiversity, a rugged landscape where nature has sculpted spectacular forms over millions of years. Vertiginous ridges, deep caves, ancient forests, and hidden streams, inhabited by extraordinary life forms, reveal the great natural wealth of a unique European territory. But alongside this pristine beauty, stand out the wounds inflicted by man: the marble quarries, exploited since Roman times, have profoundly affected the Apuan environment more in the last thirty years than in the previous two thousand years. This journey invites us to reflect on the importance of protecting a landscape and a fragile natural environment like that of the Apuan Alps, mountains with an extraordinary story.
