...Near to the park we find the Leopoldine spa of the eighteenth century
almost completely transformed by Ugo Giovannozzi between the 1922 and 1926.
At the end of Viale Verdi there is the building of the Tettuccio spa,
rebuilt by Mr Giovannozzi
who reassembled the original face inside the building. The Tettuccio is a
real thermal city with parks, café-concert and shops.The decorations of the
many pavillons are very intersting . We are speaking about the Ceramics of
the Galleria delle Bibite by Basilio Cascella, the frescos of Giuseppe
Moroni in the writing room and of Giulio Bargellini and Maria Biseo in the
Café hall, and the decorations of Ezio Giovannozzi in the dome of the
orchestra gallery covered by majolica scale tiles of The Chini’s
Manufacture. Close to the Tettuccio spring, Mr Giovannozzi renovated the
Regina building. In front of it we find the fountain of Raffaello Romanelli
(1925) with the subject of the heron and the frog, symbol of Montecatini
Terme. Not very far from the Tettuccio spa, inside the park , it’s
possible to visit the Tamerici spa, renovated in the year 1910 by Giulio
Bernardini and by Ugo Giusti now seat of the " Circolo Culturale
Tamerici". Galileo Chini realized inside the panels, the counters, the
glass-window and the floors of the old hall of the bar. Our visit ends by
the " Grand Hotel & Pace" built in the second half of the 1800
and more times transformed. In the year 1904 opened the Feast hall with
Frescos of the Chini who made also the drawings of the glass windows of the
old hall. Inside the city we find many other exemples of Liberty style like
the private Villa Agatina on Puccini Street. This villa has glass windows
and ceramics decorations of the Chini’s Manufacture. The Villa planed in
the year 1919 by the architecte Giustiniani, has a harmonious structure and
refined decorations. Another Villa in Liberty style built about in 1920 is
called villino de "Il Rinfresco" on IV Novembre street.
