Montecatini-Terme
(Tuscany-Pt)
’TAnGO MARathon/RELAX’’
Stage and Holistic Holiday dedicated to Argentine Tango, Friendship
and the Joy of living.
From 27 to 29 March 2009
The beneficial properties of
the Montecatini waters, which have been appreciated since ancient
times, were officially recognized in 1417 in a treatise "De
Balneorum Italiae proprietatibus" by Ugolino da Montecatini,
professor at the universities of Pisa, Florence and Perugia and
later justly regarded as the founder of "Italian Hydrology".
However, the real boom of interest for the curative properties of
the mineral waters of our city took place at the time of the Grand
Duke Leopoldo I, who commissioned the spas to be accurately studied,
improved on the springs and above all started to reclaim the marsh
area.
The spa centres began to be
built from 1733 onwards.
The thermal waters come from
a fault that is 60-80 mt. deep.
During their journey to reach the surface, the waters collect
minerals. When they come to the surface, from a bacteriological
point of view, they are pure and can be drunk without being treated.
They are distinguished according to their characteristics into
Strong, Medium and Light.
The therapeutic applications of the waters are very diverse, but
medical control is nonetheless necessary. The main therapy consists
of drinking the water and is thus referred to as "drink therapy."
Other treatments are mud baths, bathing, hydrotherapy jets,
physio-kinesitherapy in a thermal pool and rehabilitation therapies.
