A woman plummeted to her death after climbing to the top of a mountain - just moments after she sent a gushing text to her mum.
Rebecca Aretini, 28, fell to her death in front of her boyfriend in the Apuan Alps above the Monte Macina valley on Monday, August 22.
Local authorities said there was nothing that could be done to save the passionate hiker and climber after she fell hundreds of metres to her death.
