Description
Acqui Terme is a city and comune of Piedmont, northern Italy, in the province of Alessandria. It is one of the principle winemaking communes of the Italian DOCG wine Brachetto d'Acqui. The hot sulphur springs have been famous since this was the Roman town of Aquae Statiellae; the ancient baths are referred to by Paulus Diaconus and the chronicler Liutprand of Cremona. In 1870 Giovanni Ceruti designed a little pavilion, known as La Bollente, for the spot at the centre of the town where the waters bubble up at 75C. Acqui Terme, on the banks of the Bormida river, is a spa center of extremely ancient origins, and was already famous in Roman Imperial times. The complex is divided in the Nuove terme, in the center of Acqui Terme, and the Antiche Terme situated on the opposite bank of the Bormida river. Walking along Via Giuseppe Sarocco one reaches a small piazza and the Bollente an octagonal marble tabernacle dating back to the 1800s, from the base of which warm water springs. The Bollente is the symbol of Acqui Terme. The Aqui Terme Regional Enoteca can be found in Piazza Levi, in the cellars of Palazzo Robellini.
