Ancient thermal cures give way, today, to a new form of wellness, embraced by wonders of the past, where frescoes, colonnades and ceilings from the early 20th century unexpectedly blend with architecture and installations of modern design.
Only twenty-five kilometers from Bergamo, in the middle of the mountainous scenery of the Brembana Valley, San Pellegrino had become a fashionable and popular resort at the height of the unrepeatable Belle Epoque season.
By the early twentieth century, San Pellegrino Terme had already equipped itself with facilities and services that amazed visitors and helped spread its fame. The Casino complex dates back to 1904, with a scenic entrance, a monumental staircase and beautiful rooms, including the Salone delle Feste; next door, the Terme immersed in greenery, with halls and porticoes where the display of marble, mosaics and splendid stained-glass windows was accompanied by state-of-the-art health equipment and services; lower down, lined up along the Brembo River, overlooked by a 128-meter front, was the colossal Grand Hotel, built in 1905. The Art Nouveau style was associated with the taste and pleasure of living of a cosmopolitan society.
Its waters
Excellent for fighting stones, liver and digestive diseases, San Pellegrino’s springs were known since the Middle Ages, but it was not until the eighteenth century that its therapeutic properties began to be exploited. At the end of the same century and at the beginning of the 20th century, the resort became a first-rate spa center.
The Great War marked the decline of the spa, while the exploitation of the excellent springs grew. S.Pellegrino mineral water is on tables all over the world.
