THE SPA: AN ANCIENT RESOURCE FOR A MODERN
APPROACH TO HEALTH
SPAS in Italy
Italy has a great many spas, a characteristic it ownes to its
geological conformation. Endowed with more than its fair
share of volcanoes and traversed by a network of
underground waters that are the source of hot and cold
mineral water springs, Italy can be described as a “truly
thermal” country.
Spas have ancient origins and have always been closely
linked to the culture, traditions and customs of Italy: from
the baths and balnea of the ancient Romans that were the
centres of social and recreational life, to the early 20th
century spas for an elite few, and today’s accepted concept of
the spa ,no longer limited to preventive cures and
rehabilitation therapies, as a centre of all-round wellbeing.
