In the most intimate and true heart of Tuscany, along the antique pilgrim way "Via Francigena" crossing Europe to connect Canterbury (England) with Rome, you will find what is probably the smallest and most fascinating village on this earth: Bagno Vignoni (Siena).
The tiny village center of Bagno Vignoni is a large rectangular basin in which hot thermal spring waters flow from its underground volcanic origins.
The healing properties of the thermal waters in Bagno Vignoni were first discovered by the Etruscans who left many signs of their living in the area and then by the Romans, always great lovers of thermal baths. Illustrious visitors such as Pope Pius II, St. Catherine from Siena, Lorenzo de Medici not to mention poets, writers and artists from all over the world have searched use of these therapeutic waters and gained inspiration from the wonderful surroundings. |
