Bianco Carrara

Bianco Carrara marble is a natural metamorphic material, sourced from the famous quarries of Carrara in the Apuan Alps, Tuscany. This Italian marble stands out for its white or light gray background and fine grain, which gives it a smooth, even surface.

 

Its natural elegance makes it one of the most sought-after stone materials in the world, used since ancient times for artistic and architectural works. Thanks to its compactness and the near-total absence of inclusions, Carrara marble is perfect for luxury design applications. Its strength and durability make it an ideal choice for projects requiring both a refined and resilient material.
