Old Newspaper Article
OWNER OF CARRARA QUARRIES ADMITS COLORADO LEADS is the headline on the small article. One of the owners of the Carrara quarries, Emilio Corsi, made a clandestine trip to Marble, Colorado and the quarries around 1909 after hearing that the marble was/is the finest in the world. He came away declaring it was indeed finer than the marble in Carrara and was the finest in world.
I’ll do some more digging, but I think this article appeared in the Rocky Mountain News. I found another that quotes Corsi as saying there is a new Carrara and it is in Marble, Colorado. Hope I can find it.
