Milan's groundwater has a history rooted in antiquity.\u00a0As early as the 2nd century A.D., the Romans appreciated its regenerative properties, using it in their thermal practices<\/strong>. In\u00a01288, Bonvesin de la Riva<\/strong>in its\u00a0De Magnalibus Urbis Mediolani<\/em>documented the extraordinary abundance and quality of the waters present beneath the city, praising their purity and benefits. This water heritage was rediscovered and studied over the following centuries, leading up to modern scientific analyses. Today, thanks to hydrogeological studies and technology, Terme De Montel bring this millennial legacy back to life, offering an exclusive wellness experience for those seeking a rejuvenating break in Milan.<\/p>

The discovery of these waters, among the deepest ever captured in the city, links Milan to its ancient spa tradition dating back to Roman times. As early as the 1930s, the Milanese knew of the beneficial properties of 'Acqua Marcia', a hot spring that, despite its characteristic sulphurous aroma, was considered an elixir of well-being. The first chemical analyses in 1927, conducted by Formenti and Scipiotti, revealed that it was not sulphurous water, but rather oligomineral, with unique characteristics. Subsequent studies, including one by Professor Bragagnolo in 1947, confirmed the millennia-old mineralisation process and the therapeutic properties of these waters.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

During the 19th century, hydrogeological studies began to explore Milan's subsoil in depth, revealing the existence of aquifers of extraordinary purity. This process culminated in the\u00a01927<\/strong>when the first official analyses confirmed the unique properties of 'Acqua Marcia', showing that its mineralisation had taken place over a geological pathway thousands of years old.\u00a0In 1947<\/strong>further scientific research corroborated these findings, testifying to the therapeutic value of these waters.<\/p>

The waters of Terme De Montel originate from a millennia-old filtration process through deep geological layers, which ensures their absolute purity. With a fixed residue of 204 mg\/L, they are classified as oligomineral, making them perfect for hydrating, rebalancing, and rejuvenating the skin. Their ionic lightness optimizes cellular exchanges, contributing to dermatological wellness and stimulating natural repair processes<\/p>

The official recognition came on\u00a030 January 2023<\/strong>, when Ministry of Health certified the thermal waters of Terme De Montel in Milan as validated therapeutic resource<\/strong>by including them among the waters intended for dermatological balneotherapy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
