For a few days this week, a tiny mountain village in the Aosta Valley sprung back to life as it became abuzz with Hollywood stars.

Gressoney-Saint-Jean, which lies at the bottom of Monte Rosa, was the first location in Italy for the filming of Ridley Scott's House of Gucci, based on the true story of the killing of the former chief of the fashion house, Maurizio Gucci, by his ex-wife, Patrizia Reggiani.
