The city is one of the capitals of European spas. Montecatini Terme is formed and developed around its most precious asset, its water. One of the most striking characteristics is the large green area which is located in the "heart" of the city. The spa park covers at least 460,000 square feet. A real "green citadel" amid the spas. Montecatini Terme is a relatively young city that has developed between the '800 and '900. Formerly called Bagni di Montecatini Montecatini, only assumed its present name in 1928 in Montecatini Terme. If the plant canopy is the "center" spa, "living room" of the city can be considered the Piazza del Popolo and the streets are adjacent to the mall with elegant shops. The square was built by extending the ancient Via Regia Lucca, precisely the one that carried from Lucca to Pistoia. Old Church St. And it is here that Maria Montecatini wanted to build their church. It was built in 1833 by architect Luigi Cambray Digny. But it was understaffed to the needs of citizens. So in 1962 it was decided the demolition and reconstruction of the church, the architects Fagnoni, Spadolini Stocchetti and Negri. At the center of the square is a fountain of 1913 that took the place of an old porch that was used for the market and fairs. New Church of St. From Piazza del Popolo, Maria branch of the main directions of the city, west of Rome over the majestic Kursaal (literally ballroom) that after years of neglect is to be born to new life. Corso Matteotti east coming to the station. Begins on the north side street leading to the Green Roof. The avenue was designed in 1778 by engineer Francis Bombicci and originally was the Avenue of the Baths. Piazza del Popolo is said that the Grand Duke was to want a model of the grand boulevards that were made in Europe at that time. On this avenue were then built some of the largest buildings in the city starting from the town hall built where originally stood the grand-ducal stables. The building is embellished with decorations by Galileo Chini. The artist has designed several large skylights, the lunettes painted and decorated many times. Just before the town hall, on the other side of the avenue stands the house that was originally the Royal summer residence of Grand Duke Peter Leopold and which today houses the Directorate General of Montecatini Terme. Teatro Verdi little further on is the Teatro Verdi. The constant references to the great composer is not random. In fact, Verdi spent long periods in the spa town and here he composed several works. The theater was inaugurated in 1930 as "The Garden Theatre Spa" with the staging of Verdi's Aida. In 1981 the theater was renovated with a roof awning. In recent years it has been often used for television shows (from "Night of Honor" with Pippo Baudo to "Torno Sabato" with Giorgio Panariello and Nina Moric) and operettas. Also in the first part of the avenue are the Caffè Gambrinus, a coffee of the last concert of our country.
