Montebello is a little village settled in the mountains, just off Pietrasanta, with a winding stone road leading to the centre- through tall arches and past little churches.
I went for lunch with my Gran and her friends to Maria Gamundi, a woman living with her elderly mother in this charming house, an artists house. Maria is a widow of a very talented artist who passed away many years ago and she has kept his studio untouched, paint brushes, paint tubes and canvas's veiled in dust from the passing years.
We drank prosecco in the company of italian appetizers such as fresh ciabatta, olives and cheese, caprese salad, melon & parma ham, and other italian salads followed by a homemade spinach tart.
We watched the sun set over the valley and ate Maria's homemade apple tart for dessert before viewing talented family's works within the old, three story house.
