Sollai’s urge to carve took him to Pietrasanta at age 19 where his thirst for carving developed into a love and appreciation of marble. Pietrasanta has remained his mecca and he returns faithfully every year to choose his marble. Could one think of a better place?

Enjoy the creations found in this remarkable exhibition!
