Overview Of The Italian Stone Kingdom
Jul 23, 2020
As we all know, Italy is a stone kingdom full of history and legends, from which countless rare stones were born and then spread to the world. The key to the beauty of stone lies in design. A stone, no matter how colorful and different in shape, but lacks design elements, is just an ordinary stone. Milan Cathedral, St. Peter’s Cathedral, the Leaning Tower of Pisa...The Italian craftsmanship and craftsmanship of the stone have brought the beauty of Italian stone to the extreme. It represents not only architecture, but also technology. It is a story. For iconic buildings, it does not represent all of it. The seemingly ordinary streets are the life of Italian stone. Streets and lanes, narrow corridors, houses facing the street, and vivid stone statues can be seen everywhere. For Italians, stone is life, and it represents the prosperity of Italy. In Italy, every stone building is based on their stone craftsmanship that has accumulated thousands of years. For a country that pursues art and is full of history, things without beauty are unacceptable. They would rather spend countless hours and make things to the extreme.

In Italy, quarries are not just open-pit platform mining. In order to make full use of resources, marble mining generally uses a combination of platform and cave mining. There will never be the sound of explosive rumbling, and explosive quarrying is completely abolished. Of course, no matter how comprehensively it is done, mining still has a certain degree of damage to the environment. However, the local government does not manage the mines but manages the mines, and resolutely enforces a series of regulations. Before mining, the mine owner must first deposit a sum of money to the local bank. This money is used for environmental improvement during or after mining. Of course, this amount is far from enough. When the blocks are sold, 10% of the price of the blocks will be given to the government as a tax. The same will be used for mine greening, water cleaning, road obstruction, etc., and the special funds are dedicated. With the support of tangible and stable funding, the mine must be in order. Of course, the mine owner can also implement the governance of the mine by himself, or the government can ask a special company to implement it, but no matter who implements it, the funds are in the hands of the government from beginning to end. Even Italy can protect and use ancient stone mining as culture, history, resources, etc., and then form a special landscape of Carrara tourism culture: stone mining and tourism are combined (visitors can take an elevator to the quarry. Visit the depths of the cave).
