Ricucire le ferite – Mending the wounds – is a concept by Elena Pelosi and Federico Del Rosso for Carrara 2030, new ideas for Carrara and its marble, developed with United Consulting Engineering and Hotelnet.

Disused quarries are read as a trace of history rather than a wound in the land. The project imagines a new system of hospitality, starting from a five-star experiential boutique hotel built around the experience of Carrara marble and a low-impact idea of international luxury tourism.

The buildings blend with the landscape of the quarries, with marble and wood from the mountains and large windows that bring nature and light inside, while supporting local work, trade and artisans through sustainable micro-economies.
