The community of Levigliani has been closely tied to the marble extraction activities in the Apuan Alps for centuries. Unlike other places, the residents of Levigliani have, through historical circumstances, managed to obtain direct management of the extraction sites and organize work in a cooperative form, allowing all members of the community to have access to work without being dependent on external companies.

Levigliani has become a true laboratory, even before its time, for the successful management of common goods. To this day, the resources of the village are administered by a Commission of Common Goods, a unique body made up of the village inhabitants. This incredible history of collective organization, entrepreneurship, and equality has received significant recognition over the years, including from the President of the Republic. Today, the “Lavorare Liberi” museum offers visitors a testimony of this economic and social history through objects, documents, and testimonials.
