Category: Photography

Leivick's stunning photographs portray the great marble quarries of Carrara and the people who work and live in a region of Italy that has provided marble to the world since Roman times. This lavish presentation captures the delicacy, detail, and luminescence of the photographs. Leivick's introduction describes his experiences at Carrara, outlining its geology and history, and Alison Leitch's Afterword situates the lives of the workers in both longstanding tradition and inevitable change.
