In Saturnia, Maremma area of warm waters regenerative (not to drink for the “Mommo”, such as grandparents Tuscan fitted with glass and cigar, call the wine, there are the Morellino di Pitigliano and white) that a once called Eurinia, the Etruscans were at home when they went to get a little ‘stately holiday – and it seems that often go – in one of the most fascinating places in Tuscany.
The presence of the Etruscans is not that impression too. The Etruscans were everywhere and in those days if you opened an underwear drawer, in the midst of pajamas and socks almost always there You found also an Etruscan: a bit ‘as is happening now with the Japanese. O father, there is a Japanese box de ‘biscuits photographing horses. The horses are gentle Tuscan Christmas time and of course the Etruscans could know them. But the Japanese, and yes, in addition to eating them, photograph them. However, there is a character who steals the show the Etruscans and the children of the Rising Sun.
A character who Eurinia, renamed Saturnia by the ancient Romans, it’s not only needs to sulphurous and carbonic alkaline, does not go to heal the skin to become more beautiful and strengthen bones, but you go because Saturnia is all the rage, is a fine appointment delights of winter, and the days of those Roman delights winter or spring or summer were really delicious.
The character that no Japanese tourist has ever photographed live, is none other than Julius Caesar, a young man with delicate delicate nuances vague feminine, still very far from the deeds that will make it memorable. Why was Julius Saturnia? Flirting. And spent and spread. It attended the aristocratic peers, women Ae men, all shaved and perfumed, with her hair full of inanellamenti, curls and croissants.
In short, according to the great historian Theodore Mommsen, who gives us the news, the future conqueror had a large number of locks and an even more substantial number of debts, which took care not to pay. Not paid them because mica was stingy and bad, but because it was all taken from learning the art of dressing that eighteen anniera already master.
The Etruscans have stopped Montalto Eurinia lead to their wives and girlfriends for rassodamenti and mud masks miraculous that the nice ladies were mad, and Julius Caesar you have not seen the spa from 49 BC year in which, on his return from Gaul, had too much to do in Rome to think of the holidays in Maremma.
But Saturnia is always there, even more beautiful, in the middle of a crown on which prance Scansano, Magliano, Saturnia, Pitigliano and Santa Fiora gems of a land charms and mysteries. The first of which concerns the change of name from Eurinia Saturnia.
The historian Lucius Cornelius Sisenna said that Jupiter, fed up with complaints of
Saturn about the many wars in circulation, threw a powerful lightning against fellow who, with footpath, wrote one sportswriter, dodged the bullet that went to stick in the lands of the countryside, in the village next to Monte Amiata.
And why there? This Cornelius Sisenna did not have explained, however, in that campaign opened a crater as if it had rained on a bomb crater and the Romans built a pool, fifty feet to fifteen, so that Caesar could bathe and health of beauty. The remains of the pool can still be seen near the Porta Romana.
From the slopes of Monte Amiata, a provider of delicious chestnuts, boiled, weave in touch with, Morellino, water sulfur-carbon-sulphate-bicarbonate-alcalinoterrose down seven hundred feet deep. The temperature of 15 ° at the point of infiltration, increased by 3 ° every hundred meters and during the journey through the cavernous limestone, the water is full of minerals.
Under present Saturnia Spa a fault that stops 200 meters deep clay roof brings back happy in the water jets to 800 liters per second and at a temperature of 37 °. Once the ladies have reacquired, through mud and diving, the elasticity of twenty years, once husbands and wives, boyfriends and singles have visited and admired the old town finally clear in the quiet winter, you can start the party.
Come to the table toasted hunting, fettunta and her lover white Pitigliano, the mushroom soup, lamb and rabbit fried, boiled water, scottiglia, pappardelle with wild boar sauce. And the red wine and the oil bono bono. My goodness, but this stuff does not damage the skin? A swim in the open air with 37 degree heat remit all right. You Saturnia, beauty.
