History

The Spa town of Salsomaggiore, was born in the beginning of the XIX century due to the merit of its local doctor, Doctor Lorenzo Berzieri ( who's name has been given to the 'Terme Berzieri' monuments, world famous for their unique liberty style rich with wavy, oriental designs), who was the first to experiment the therapeutic capabilities of the salsobromoidic waters, recognized and used right from the ancient times for the extraction of salt, curing a little girl's serious form of 'osteitus', who was clinically diagnosed as incurable. From then onwards the little "Borgo del Sale", as the town was once called, therapeutically made use of its water..
