"Montagne verdi" (transl. "Green Mountains") is a 1972 song composed by Gianni Bella (music) and Giancarlo Bigazzi (lyrics) and performed by Marcella Bella (at the time still using the mononym Marcella).

Background

The song premiered at the 22th edition of the Sanremo Music Festival, where it ranked seventh.[1] It eventually turned out to be a surprise hit and Bella's breakthrough.[1][2] Singer-songwriter Eugenio Finardi served as a backing vocalist.[3] It has been described as a song which "relies on well thought-out melodies and harmonic openings, making it a classic of pop music".[1]

Artists who covered the song include Rita Pavone with a French-language version titled "Vertes collines", Ireen Sheer with a German-language version titled "Wer wird dich lieben", Graciela with a Spanish-language version titled "Montañas verdes", Elpida with a Greek-language version titled "S' éna kósmo gemáto agápi", and Claudio Simonetti with an English-language version titled "Let Me Help".[2][4]
