The origins of Montecatini Terme.
Montecatini Terme is located within the Valdinievole actually is part of the eleven municipalities that comprise it. The presence of man in the Valdinievole is very old. Probably since Paleolithic times, the region was frequented by hunters traveling, but it is only since the Mesolithic that many settlements are well-represented, especially in the mountainous belt. Thus began the history of this valley so rich in resources, and the scene of many battles in the centuries that brought her to us as we now see it and live it. At the beginning of the fourteenth century on the edge of Valdinievole appeared a new power: Florence. The Florentines first thing in those weakened until their arrival had been the dominating powers of the Valley, Siena and Arezzo. But while Florence was about to realize his plans of domination, in the northwest region of a revolt of the Ghibellines in the early years of the fourteenth century was able to slow down this process. At the head of the revolt there was Uguccione Faggiola, which in 1312 became the imperial vicar and master of Pisa and Lucca, Florence directly threatened. The war was inevitable given that such conflict depended on the domain of the entire region Tuscany. The decisive year was 1315 Uguccione attempted to besiege Montecatini, a strategic stronghold, but thanks to its excellent location and helping allies Florentines, the siege failed. On August 29, under the walls of Montecatini there was the decisive battle. The Guelph army (Florence and allies) was taken by surprise by the Ghibelline Uguccione and after many battles, made of hundreds of casualties and prisoners, they saw the Ghibellines come out on top. On August 31, Montecatini also surrendered. The following year Uguccione was forced to flee and took his place Castruccio Castracani of Antelminelli. The latter became first lord of Lucca, Pisa and then was able to extend its power in Tuscany more and more. In 1323 Castruccio attempted to take control of one of the strongholds of Florence, Fucecchio, but was forced to hurt
retreat, he began a slow but inexorable recovery of Florentine power. In the centuries after the evolutions and the guerrillas continued in the sixteenth Valdinievole but we have to wait to find Montecatini direct protagonist of an important episode. In 1530, at the foot of Montecatini was provided to contain the thermal baths in tubs, which had assumed the names of "Medici" or "round", and "blackbirds" or "mange". The area was, however, remained unhealthy because of the stagnation of the waters and local entrepreneurs had joined the foreign ones; Thanks to the Grand Duke Leopold, who built the channels for the disposal of water, the territory was recovered, also to facilitate the use of the thermal springs built of establishments: Canopy 1779 Regal Bath Terme Leopoldine 1773 and 1775. Another war saw Montecatini again at the center of a dispute, it began in 1554 and had as protagonists on the one hand and on the other Cosimo de 'Medici Pietro Strozzi respectively representatives of Florence and Siena Hispanic alliance with French alliance. Cosimo wanted to conquer Siena to extend their territory, Siena and the response of the June 11, 1554 set off to conquer the Valdinievole. Pietro Strozzi conquered the valley gradually but inexorably, causing the retreat of the Spanish-Medici towards Pistoia, and so on June 21 of the same year also Montecatini was occupied with only one hundred and fifty horses Franco-Siena. Montecatini did not object, because a certain Cornelio Bentivoglio, preceded the Strozzi spreading the news that he was a liberator. Montecatini once impregnable fortress poured now in poor condition caused by the degradation and the hardships incurred during the centuries of battles. So when the doctors with their troops returned to the attack Montecatini fell under the Medici who plundered mercilessly taking away even doors and windows. But Cosimo not happy and full of resentment for Montecatini that before she had left conquer without resistance and then he fought not to return under the rule of the Medici, ordered him to "sfasciarla from the ground up, " and so for days eight hundred men attacked furiously against walls, towers and houses, were saved from destruction only one hundred and sixty houses, three convents, the palace of the Podesta and the Palace of Justice (for more information about what remains today of the Castle of Montecatini Alto Montecatini see History).
The centuries passed more or less quiet until you get to the beginning of the twentieth century, more precisely 1905, when what was once a small village at the foot of the hill of Montecatini became "Bagni di Montecatini". This name, however, had no luck, and it was later changed to the current one. At the beginning of the century the tourist offer was perfected and diversified. The hotels were grown in number and quality, was also a need to combine the care the fun, relaxation,
the sport. They were therefore arisen trendy restaurants, theaters, night clubs, a casino and celebrities began to frequent the city. Between the late nineteenth and early twentieth century was easy to meet, in the tree-lined streets, in parks or local figures such as Giuseppe Verdi, Pietro Mascagni, Ruggero Leoncavallo, Trilussa, Beniamino Gigli and Luigi Pirandello. Thanks to them Montecatini became a meeting point of international renown: you are discussing politics, business is concluded. His fame grew to the point that, in 1926, seventy-five thousand well-recorded attendance, a considerable sum for the time. You get to today Montecatini has had good times and periods less happy as all Italian cities and tourist in Italy, by a period not exactly wonderful it is coming out now, is recovering because (as demonstrated by the fact that you are reading these historical notes) is adapting to a changing world faster than ever before, and he is doing through the internet and the cooperation of all its citizens and those like you who come to visit it by increasing the incentive to bring it back to the splendor of the early 20.

Legends related to Montecatini Terme and characters who have lived there.
There once was a geographic area known as Valdinievole. The ancient Romans called Vallis Nebulae and described her as a territory, partly flat partly mountainous, crossed by streams that delicious, gliding along the sides of wooded hills, were going to get lost nimble and silent between the plane trees, reeds and frogs of an extensive marsh, often shrouded in mist, called Padule.
According to a passage in Genesis, reported in the Dead Sea Scrolls, the creation of the world would come not all at once, as we have always believed, but a bit 'at a time, and would have started (it's amazing!) Right from Valdinievole. In fact, in one of these rolls reads: "Long before the world was created in its entirety, God wanted to experience the goodness of his project, beginning to create the first module of the world in which we live. Egli, a day when you felt particularly inspired, pointing with the index finger of the left hand point of the universe, he said: "Let there be Valdinievole! It was the Valdinievole. "It 's so was born the first" slice "of the world, consisting of marshes and hills which formed at the same time the crown and the source of wealth.
At dawn the next day God, realizing that the Valley was too barren and desolate, he ordered: "Let the waters be filled with fish and birds fly in the sky. So the marsh was filled with large and small fish darting in the water, and birds of the sky by the bright colors that were chasing fast and festive air. " The next day, after having rested, God willed that the plain and the surrounding hills were not only covered with vegetation, but also that you populate all the species of animals that we know. Then, realizing that lacked someone who could appreciate and use the riches created by Him, stooped, picked up a handful of dust from the ground and with it modeled the first valnievolino in the world. He just got up from the ground, looking around exclaimed: "Oh, there fo 'here only in this valley!?" He was born the first grumpy. God heard him and, from "Persona" smart he is, he knew immediately what he needed. So while he was sleeping, he took one rib and with it made a woman who lived with him. She was born Eva-Ni-lina. the first martyr of the story. With this act of creation Valdinievole was over. God, then, seeing that everything was orderly, beautiful and perfect, he decided to complete his work, and so, in this his first creation, he added parts of the world that were still missing. The planet Earth was finally complete.
This is what is known about the biblical and mythological origins of our valley. The story, however, in his cold, bare essentials, provides us with more news, and informs us that the place we live in, by virtue of its beauty and geographical location, was coveted by many people who have come from afar. In fact, it became a territory to conquer not only the Etruscans and the Romans, who aspired to the possession of its resources, but, in a later period, even the Florentines, Pisa and the Lucca who faced each other several times in his flat on its hills to contend for the region with the sword and halberd.
In a document of the late Middle Ages, found in recent days in a gorge of the hills, a chronicler of the place, a certain Aegisthus Sigismund from Buggiano, speaks to us of the inhabitants of Valdinievole: "The people who were leading their lives therein, sapeano skillfully use all the resources that God Almighty had bestowed upon this place, elli et sapeano hunting, fishing, farming et sapeano handle the copious straw of the valley nor the fatturatione of benches, baskets et hats, that no Pisa, Lucca, Florence et facea missing in the house on his own and on his own head. naught de In the sumptuous mansions de la tosca earth was missing a piece of furniture, a furnishings, a design that does not fussono were made from the golden hands of their women very simple, virtuous et belle, so that Michelangelo et Botticelli were accustomed to take inspiration there to paint angels madonnas et. " As we know, Dante Alighieri, who was not of this valley, with transitandovi Uguccione Faggiula, lord of Pisa and Lucca, should exclaim: "After the hell of Florentia, here is the paradise that I go 'looking' And while you quenched the purest spring water in the hills of Buggiano, he began to write the well-known verse: "O dear, sweet or source under the mountain / / which of greenery and flowers if 'adorned, / / ??do' it my understanding, in on the forehead, / / ??sing of love for my beloved. "
In the following centuries, the history of the whole valley was an alternation of periods of war and peace, of subjection and autonomy, of crisis and prosperity, but in all circumstances, the villagers never strayed their identity or lost the ability to adapt to changing times, as is attested by the cyclopean work performed to drain its marshes, the construction of the wonderful spa resort of Montecatini Terme, the prestigious Swiss Pescia paper mills, from greenhouses built here and there in the Valley and the many footwear industries Monsummano Terme much work that gave even the immigrants came from southern Italy. However, the changes that risked undermining the integrity and the identity of its inhabitants were the ones who were involved in the late twentieth century when foreign populations declined from Eastern Europe, Africa, South America and even from faraway China, "invaded" this place, occupying sidewalks, squares and markets that ended up as commercial spaces of fake products. And the valnievolino, once again, proved himself to know how to adapt to a changing world and to be able to fraternize with the new foreign as well as centuries before had made with the Romans, the French, the Pisan and Florentine masters of the invaders and ended Valdinievole with becoming a constituent and integral.
At this point the story, or rather the story of the Valdinievole stops and is lost in the mists of time, leaving each of us the freedom to imagine when, where and how they lost track of him.
Legend has it that the Creator of the universe, having noticed that the planet Earth was in danger and no longer able to provide safe shelter to the inhabitants of the Valdinievole, has been ordered by a host of angels to wrap it in a huge white sheet and to transport in a constellation of our galaxy (it seems to be the Constellation of the Swan), to give life to other worlds similar to the one around which He had originally created the Valdinievole. Now I valnievolini would live there happily to enjoy the wonders of their Valley no longer illuminated by the rays of the sun tired but those far more warm and bright of a star situated 450 light years from our solar system.

The Clock Tower of Montecatini Alto
The human presence in the area of ??current Montecatini Terme is very old. Probably since Paleolithic times, the region was frequented by hunters traveling, but it is only since the Mesolithic that many settlements are well-represented, especially in the hills of Montecatini Valdinievole which is the largest town.
