Description
WikipediaMount Contrario is a mountain belonging to the Apuan Alps chain, that lies 1,789 m (5,869 ft) above sea level. It is located in upper Tuscany, Italy, between the provinces of Lucca and Massa-Carrara; it is part of the Apuan Alps Regional Park. Some marble quarries are located on this mountain, and as in the larger Apuan Alps, have invited harsh criticism from the No Cav environmental movement, which calls for closure of the quarries due to their environmental impact.
