    The second half of the video, the man is like a conductor leading a symphony.

    Breathtaking! Hard to believe that all this beauty takes a month journey on a boat just to end up decorating people' s palaces! But no doubt the true artist is "Il Capo"!!!

    Interesting view of modern Marble Quarrying .
    Marble is one of the most beautiful building stones .
    What your seeing here isn't as roughshod as it looks , the Capo or the Head .
    Who you see directing with hand singles , it actually an artist , who is handling the beginning phase of some shape , that this beautiful stone will later take .
    Excellent video .
    I could smell the sweat .
    Fronzi Approved .

    I hope I'm not the only one here who sees the last guy between the excavators as a maestro. I've done backhoe/excavator spotting for more than ten years - hand signals are your lifeline when around this shit. This guy is bad ass.

    People should thing about it that what we get from nature is rare and beautiful.
    Would you believe that i found lots of beautiful marble in dumps and containers?
    What a shame!

    • @Coptah
      @Coptah 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Éric Scion There's discussion to be had in youtube comments, they can be useful you know... I don't post complaining about these people on every viral video so you can stop suggesting I might be hypocritical.

    • @Coptah
      @Coptah 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      The most popular ones... Yes and there's fucking hundreds of popular video's that get posted daily and now something that was once useful (and it'd be stupid to think otherwise just because it's youtube) is now just baiting rehashed comments.
      There's nothing good about it so stop acting in defence.

    • @Coptah
      @Coptah 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Éric Scion They aren't all from reddit you know, nothing has to be posted to r/Videos for it to get attention. I see plenty of video's daily that aren't front page that attract the same people and I say hundreds because yes there are hundreds of videos that gain huge popularity daily and if you think that reddit is the sole reason why then you're pretty "dense".
      When half the comments on a video are the same, what's the point in commenting... It's a swarm of shit and the whole idea that people who respond seriously as a good aspect is a fucking joke. The fact that that's the sole reason for baiting shows that it's just ruining the section even more.

    Wow, truly an amazing video. The way they harvest this metamorphosed limestone is absolutely breathtaking. And the sheer amount of effort that half naked Italian man is making is one of a kind. Yuri Ancarani has really captured the beauty of a marble quarry! Tis' a shame this video will never surpass the greatness of MLP. One can not comprehend, the sheer amount of perfection that goes into each MLP episode. If you agree with me, please join me, and other MLP Redditors over at r/MyLittlePony.

    Ive been operating excavators and cranes for a long, long time. I have never needed this much hand signaling on the job. Unless we were hoisting a heavy load, it is not necessary. Seems they are taking unnecessary risks having him stand in the middle of all of that.
