Marble Columns - fasle advertising

Ever wonder how the Italians made everything out of Marble? The buildings, the columns, etc. etc. Well contrary to popular belief most of those things are not made out of a solid piece of marble. The structure was constructed out of bricks, and then a marble facade was applied.

Talk about misleading

For the record I want to state THIS IS NOT true for all columns and marble faced structures. There are a fair amount that are made from SOLID marble.
