Helpfulness
The road can be treachuous. The trucks carrying marble down the mountain do take a wide turn on the curves, while the road itself has blind spots when turning the zig zag going uphill. You do not always see the traffic coming down until you are close to the having to make a decison to get off to the edge of the road. Also the drop off in some areas can be a great view, or precarious if you re too close to the edge.

These mines have supplied marble since Roman times. The scupltue Michelangelo used Carrara marble for his famous works of art.
