Marble is the most luxurious stone in the world. But it has to be extracted from the mountain through a tough, dangerous process. Only the "Stone Men" can master this.
In Apuan Alps, Tuscany, Italy, lies the largest marble basin in the world. For over 2,000 years, people have been querried high-quality marble. But for every inch of marble a price has to be paid. It is a struggle against nature and the elements, against the mountain and its hazards.
The harsh winter has made resuming operations more difficult at the Henraux and Catino quarries. Everything is now on the shoulders of the indefatigable Michele and his Russia quarry, the largest and most important on Mount Altissimo, which has survived the winter and is still fully functional. But the material isn’t enough...
The Stone Men are not only fighting against time, but also for sustainability. Water usage and remnants of the extraction of stone blocks from the mountains needs to be improved. In the meantime, there is a new female member who has to earn the Stone Men's trust. What other challenges will the Stone Men have to face?

*_Marble has been quarried for thousands of years... Italy is Ground Zero for all things Marble._* Glad you produced a Professional Quality video about Marble. There are many types of rock that are quarried around the world. Some can be extracted by using High Explosives and the end product is gravel and sand. Others like Granite use combination of explosives, drills, and saws. Marble is a soft stone. It can be easily cut and carved. Because it is soft, very special care needs to be taken to not ruin the Marble before it even gets out of the quarry. Large blocks are more than just big. They are heavy and when gravity takes over, those same large blocks can kill or maim. Every step in the process can be dangerous. *_I will follow 'Stone Men' from site to site, quarry to quarry..._*

Thats un-necessary & completely over complicating a relatively simple task. Not everyone is scared of real work & have little dainty soft supple hands....Bud. If you want I can send you some Tampex.
