Dry fields to irrigate, a well, and Italo Borrini.
A man of the land with a flair for entrepreneurship, he does not believe that in life it is enough to get lucky.
To succeed, he is convinced, you have to roll up your sleeves.

Drilling a well in search of water to water his crop, he discovers a salso-bromo-iodine spring bubbling up from 64 meters deep.
It certainly doesn’t help the crop, but by doing studies and research he realizes its importance.
This is how the Monticelli Spa was born, combining chance, good flair, willpower and tenacity.

After obtaining a concession to use the spring, Italo Borrini has a small plant built to test its possibilities.
The experiment works and interest grows along with the desire to start a larger center that can also serve the citizens of Parma.
Tirelessly, he initiates the search for other sources, sets up new studies and an expansion project.
In a little less than two years, each piece found the right fit and the Monticelli Spa opened on May 15, 1927, an Art Nouveau jewel within a large centuries-old park. Wellness and hospitality became the key words of a new adventure.

After nearly one hundred years, the sulfur and bromine and iodine-salt thermal water of Terme di Monticelli gush forth rich in precious elements and are highly effective for the treatment, prevention and rehabilitation of our bodies.
And still today, four generations later, the Borrini family strongly believes in the therapeutic role of spa treatments, the value ofhospitality and traditions.
