Old and new statues are seen in a storage room at Cantiere Marmisti, the marble yard where marble from the Candoglia quarry is turned into ashlars, architectural and ornamental elements, sculptures and statues of Milan's Duomo Cathedral, on December 11, 2024 in Milan. Marble workers of the "Venerable Factory of the Duomo of Milan" (Fabbrica del Duomo) are taking care of more than 3.000 statues and gargoyles sculpted in marble from Candoglia quarries in the Italian Alps.
