Pozzo Cacciabella is a natural thermal well or spring in Italy, likely in the volcanic zone of Lazio or Tuscany, where sulphurous geothermal water has been accessed from a shaft or bore in the volcanic terrain for bathing or therapeutic purposes. Italy's volcanic zones contain numerous such thermal wells (pozzi termali) alongside natural surface springs, tapping into the geothermal reservoir at varying depths. The name Cacciabella — 'beautiful hunt' or possibly a local place name — reflects the Italian tradition of evocative local naming for geothermal features embedded in the working agricultural and hunting landscape of the Tuscan or Lazio countryside.

Insider tip — Pozzo Cacciabella is a historic sulfurous well-spring in the Viterbo thermal district of northern Lazio, where geothermal waters have been drawn since medieval times. Emerging at a moderate 35°C, the waters are slightly cooler than nearby sources, making them popular for longer restorative soaks. The name hints at old hunting traditions in this wooded volcanic landscape between the Cimini hills and Lake Bolsena.
