- An underground but mighty river links the cities of Carrara in Tuscany and Barre in Vermont, USA. It is a river that carries with it the tragic epic of an entire community of emigrants from all over Europe engaged in the everlasting and titanic struggle against stone. It rises from the quarries of the Apuan Alps, where Michelangelo used to go to obtain the blocks of marble. And that finds its outlet in Vermont, amidst social battles, tragic deaths, the splendor of the art of sculpture, amidst anarchic utopia, hope and tragedy.—Anonymous
- In the hands of Italian filmmaker Giovanni Donfrancesco, an outwardly simple documentary about a Vermont granite mining town and the Tuscan anarchist and socialist quarrymen who migrated there at the beginning of the 20th century becomes something rich and strange. It's a cinematic Spoon River Anthology that acts both as elegiac lament for a dying world of stone craftsmanship and poetic portrait of a town that inhabits a dream space somewhere between past and present, the dead and the living.—Anonymous
- An underground but mighty river links the cities of Carrara in Tuscany and Barre in Vermont. It is a river through which flow art, history and memory. But above all it is a river that carries with it the tragic epic of an entire community of emigrants from all over Europe engaged in the everlasting and titanic struggle against stone. A river that rises from the quarries of the Apuan Alps, where Michelangelo used to go to obtain the blocks of marble for his masterpieces. And that finds its outlet in the American state of Vermont, amidst dramatic social battles and deaths by freezing, amidst the sorrow of emigration and the splendor of the art of sculpture, amidst anarchic utopia, hope and tragedy.—anonymous
