Carrarese

Carrarese is the demonym for residents of Carrara, a city and comune in the province of Massa-Carrara, in Tuscany, central Italy. Carrara sits on the Ligurian Sea coast near the Apuan Alps and is internationally known for its marble, commonly called Carrara marble, which has been quarried since ancient times and used in sculpture and architecture worldwide.

The name also serves as an adjective for things connected with Carrara. In Italian, Carrarese can describe people from Carrara and, by extension, cultural, historical, and geographical attributes associated with the city. The term is frequently encountered in sports, history, and tourism to identify the locality.

Carrarese Calcio is the local football club based in Carrara. Founded in 1908, it has spent much of its history in the lower divisions of Italian football and has commonly played in Serie C in recent decades. The club represents the city in national competition and participates in regional events.

Beyond football, Carrara's identity is closely tied to marble quarrying, the quarry towns of the Apuan Alps, and related industries. The Marble Museum and the marble-producing district attract visitors and influence the regional economy.
