About
The'miracle' water from these four springs is claimed to have medicinal powers, and Louis XII of France was given a glass of it.
In the hills of the Staffora Valley, with a forest and wonderful vineyards framing it, you can find the oldest fountains of the valley. There are four springs fed by springs and named by their content: drinking fountain, ferrous fountain, magnesian fountain, and finally the sulfurous one. Known for their healing properties since Roman times, these fountains were made famous by many doctors in the 15th century with the first one being Dr. Teodoro Guainero, a professor at the University of Pavia, doctor and advisor to King Louis XII of France.
