The historic Terme Tettuccio, included in the new wellness programs of BelVedere, and built between 1779 and 1781, are perhaps the most monumental and at the same time representative building of Montecatini Terme.
Terme Tettuccio
Plunged into a marvelous park adorned with century-old plants, Terme Tettuccio was built by the architect Gaspero Maria Paoletti and then renovated by the architect Giovannozzi according to the concept of the ancient Roman baths.
People have been going there since ancient times in a completely spontaneous way to drink water through hydropinic treatment, a real beneficial tasting that involves the use of thermal water as a drink with the waters that take the name of Tettuccio, Regina, Leopoldina and Rinfresco, from their respective sources.
In the Tettuccio's Drink Gallery you can admire seven splendid ceramic panels by Basilico Cascella depicting Childhood, Adolescence, Maturity and Old Age combined with Beauty and Strength and the Source.
