This is out-take footage from Gina Minervini's incredible docustory THROUGH THE EYES OF THE SCULPTOR. A 300 ton piece of marble is carefully pushed and dropped off a mountain inside the marble quarries of Pietrasanta Italy, . Ms Minervini was amazed when she stood across the quarry with her Sony video camera ready and witnessed this massive piece gently fall to the ground like a pillow. Without a crack or a break!

  • A sloppy job. I could have cut it straight and dropped it without breaking it

  • @veedub447 I was a natural crack from in mountain. Not man-made . The quarryman and to carefully finish the crack and push it off gently.

  • @ginavini where is this quarry located?

  • @carvalhoski the marble quarry is in the mountains near Pietrasanta, Italy

  • meh, i can lift that rock with my bear hands.

  • @ginavini 52 metric ton. By estimating the dimention in relation with the height of the workers, this is a block of 5X2X2=20 cubic meter. With a density of 2.6 ton per cubic meter for typical marble = 52 ton block. This is just an estimate but 300 ton? No way!
