Terme di Caldiero Verona

Terme di Caldiero, in the small town of Caldiero east of Verona on the Veronese plain, exploits sulfurous thermal springs celebrated in Roman antiquity — the settlement's ancient name Fons Aponi reflects the reverence with which these naturally hot sulfurous waters were regarded by Roman Verona's citizens, who built bathing facilities here to complement the famous baths of the city itself. The naturally warm sulfurous waters, rich in hydrogen sulfide from the volcanic and hydrothermal geology underlying the Veronese plain, are used in therapeutic treatments for respiratory, dermatological, and musculoskeletal conditions following the Italian medical thermal tradition. Caldiero's proximity to Verona — Shakespeare's chosen setting for Romeo and Juliet, with its extraordinary Roman Arena, Romanesque churches, and UNESCO World Heritage historic centre — makes Terme di Caldiero one of Italy's most culturally proximate thermal destinations, just minutes from one of the Veneto's greatest cities.
