Encyclopedia > Massa Carrara

Massa-Carrara (It. Provincia di Massa-Carrara) is a province in the Tuscany region of Italy. It is named after the two main towns in its territory: Massa and Carrara. Its capital is the city of Massa.


It has an area of 1,156 sq km, and a total population of 197,652 (2001). There are 17 communes in the province (source: Italian institute of statistics Istat, see this link (http://www.upinet.it/indicatore.asp?id_statistiche=6)).


Its economical relevance, once mainly based on the production of the famous white Carrara marble, has now shifted to the importation and fabrication of blocks of marble and granite from all over the world.
