Geocache Description:


Saturnia, leggenda e realta'

Secondo antiche leggende il dio Saturno, adirato per la litigiosita' degli esseri umani che si traduceva in continue guerre, scaglio' un fulmine sulla terra formando un cratere da cui inizio' a zampillare dell'acqua tiepida, mentre l'atmosfera intorno veniva avvolta da vapori. Gli uomini bagnandosi nella calda sorgente d'acqua sciolsero tutti i rancori e gli attriti imparando a essere piu' felici. Da quelle nebbie, rinacque una umanita' rinnovata, piu' saggia e consapevole.
Questo posto leggendario, noto già agli Etruschi ed agli antichi Romani per le virtu' cosmetiche ed il potere rigenerante e' Saturnia, dalle cui sorgenti termali sgorga un'acqua sulfurea alla temperatura costante di 37° al ritmo di 800 litri al secondo.


Saturnia, legend and reality

Ancient legend tells of how the god Saturn, furious with human beings for how often they quarrelled and caused continuous wars, hurled a bolt of lightening to earth, forming a crater from which some tepid water began to gush, while the air around it was filled with steam. The men bathing itself in the water source melted all the rancors and the frictions learning to be happier. A new type of humanity, wiser and more conscious of matters was reborn from those mists.
This legendary place, well known to the Etruscans and the ancient Romans for its cosmetic properties and regenerating powers, is Saturnia, where sulphurous water at a constant temperature of 37° rises from the thermal springs at a rate of 800 litres per second.
