The area has been settled for eons and there are ancient Etruscan ruins next to the site of the medieval castle which was built in 14 the century and fortified in 15 the century. The keep has magnificent views up and down coast, and out to Elba and Corsica.
Had a quick bite there and then back home for lazy afternoon. Natasha came back from work and we picked up Alex from day camp to head up the hills to Sassetta.
This is a traditional Italian village perched on the slopes, and where Natasha's in laws have a restaurant. There was a pottery workshop for kids and Alex and his friend Eric joined in.
Scions Gian Franco and Maria Pia welcomed us at the restaurant and with Eric's parents Mario and Sabina (yes the same singer) we feasted on fresh pasta, pickled vegetables and pizza.
After a lovely evening (except Natasha ended up in kitchen) we returned home for night.
Beach day methinks today and hopefully I will see Sabina perform tonight at another restaurant.
