The quarry workers and stone carvers had radical beliefs that set them apart from others . Anarchism and general radicalism became part of the heritage of the stone carvers . Many violent revolutionists who had been expelled from Belgium and Switzerland went to Carrara in 1885 and founded the first anarchist group in Italy . In Carrara , the anarchist Galileo Palla remarked , “ even the stones are anarchists . ” The quarry workers were the main actors of the Lunigiana revolt in January 1894
