HISTORY
Michelangelo Buonarroti the peinter, a kidney stone sufferer, wrote in a letter dated 1549. It's one of the oldest and most renowned testimonies of the benefits derived from drinking Fiuggi water.
The story recounts how kings, noblemen, and ambassadors were benefited by drinking the miraculous water because it eased their pain. Pope Bonifacio VIII, who was born in Ciociaria and knew the Fiuggi source well, also used this healthy water.
Over 187 payment orders for transport of the water from Fiuggi to Rome are well documented in the Pope's accounting registries.
In more recent times, other famous notables successfully treated themselves by drinking Fiuggi water: from Papa Pio X to Giovanni Giolitti, to Benedetto Croce and Alcide De Gasperi.
