    Marble and travertine quarrying was significant in Italy, with hundreds of quarries located across the Alps and Sicily. The most important source of white marble was the Apuan Alps near Carrara, accounting for one-third of Italy's annual production of 100,000 tons. Important sources of colored marble included regions like Lazio, Lombardy, Puglia, Sicily, Venice, and Verona-Vincenza. About half of Italy's marble output was exported in block form, with reserves considered unlimited across major production areas.

    Marble and travertine quarrying from the famous mines in the Massa and Carrara areas was still

    significant. Marble was quarried at hundreds of locations from the Alps to Sicily. The most important white-marble-producing area was in the Apuan Alps, near Carrara, and accounted for one-third of the country's 100,000 tons of white marble. Important colored-marbleproducing areas included the Lazio region, Lombardy, the Po Valley, Puglia, Sicily, Venice, and Verona-Vincenza. Reserves of several types were considered to be unlimited; half of the country's output was in block from, and half was exported.
