In Lesignano de' Bagni, near the Parma stream in Emilia-Romagna, the earliest written accounts of a spring valued since antiquity date back to the 15th century, recorded in period texts and documents. It was the lord Pier Maria Rossi who first took a concrete interest in these waters, having the wells cleaned and ordering the restoration of the spa building, giving the site a lasting impetus.

The current building, now under restoration, stands out for its cubic two-storey architecture topped with a tiled pitched roof, with three round arches on the ground floor matching as many openings above. The waters, sodium-chloride and iodine-rich, have long been associated by local tradition with bathing use, though this is not certified by scientific analysis today.

Insider tip — Terme di Lesignano de' Bagni sits in the Apennine foothills south of Parma, in a small spa village whose thermal tradition dates to the medieval period. The iodine-bearing thermal water at 38°C is recommended for thyroid support and circulatory treatments under medical supervision. The surrounding Parma hills produce some of Italy's finest cured meats and Parmigiano-Reggiano, so gastronomy and thermal culture combine naturally here. The facility operates a traditional Italian cure thermale program with morning bathing sessions followed by afternoon rest protocols.
