The thermal springs of Rapolano, also well known in the ancient past, according to recent findings at Campo Muri of a thermal complex from the Roman era, which were analyzed by many chemists and naturalists, especially during the Lorenese (French ducal of Lorena) period.

Scientific advances in Chemistry in the middle half of the 18th century allowed for essential research and experiments of the thermal waters that were realized thanks to the support of new theories, new methods and new instruments.

The study of these springs forsaw an understanding of the physical characterisitics of the water, in which the heat, the smell, and the taste were evaluated.

Chemical analyisis provided for knowledge of particular reagents to understand and breakdown the compostion of the waters, which in the end was to determine the therapeutic effects that aided in finding specific therapies for specific ailments.Still today the Rapolano springs welcome a large number of visitors thanks to the beneficial effects of its waters and the heavenly landscape that surrounds it.
