Province of Massa-Carrara, Province in Tuscany, Italy.

The province extends over 1,157 square kilometers, encompassing both the mountainous terrain of the Apuan Alps and a coastal section along the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Established in 1859, the province originated from parts of Lunigiana and Garfagnana regions, transitioning from the Duchy of Modena to become part of Tuscany in 1861.

The region maintains traditional marble extraction practices, with numerous active quarries in Carrara producing white marble that supplies sculptors and builders worldwide.

The province contains 17 municipalities, including the capital cities of Massa and Carrara, with direct access to both mountain trails and Mediterranean beaches.

The province received the Medal of Military Valour for its resistance activities during World War II, marking its strategic importance in Italian military history.
