These are the lessons rom the past that here in the Province oBrescia are constantly being applied and improved, beginning withthe Sirmione spas, the most noteworthy in Lombardy and amongthe best in Italy. The Romans had bathed in these waters since the1st century B.C. The frst spa was opened at the beginning o the20th century and led to the establishment o a number o hotels. Thethermal waters spring rom the slopes o Monte Baldo, ollowing acourse that enriches them with benefcial minerals and ends up in the

lake at Sirmione, at a depth o 20 metres and a temperature o morethan 69 degrees [more than 150 degrees Fahrenheit].

or yoursel: this is the secretto rediscovering energy and
