#Piazza delle Sorgenti.....Bagno Vignoni

Perhaps you will know by reputation this small jewel of only 30 residents.

Getting to Bagno Vignoni is always magical and this day in August there was a wonderful light.

 

-A rectangular basin, of sixteenth-century origin, which contains a source of hot and steaming thermal water that comes out of the underground stratum of volcanic origins. Since the time of the Etruscans and then of the Romans - as evidenced by the numerous archaeological finds - the baths of Bagno Vignoni have been frequented by illustrious figures, such as Pope Pius II, Catherine of Siena, Lorenzo de 'Medici and many artists who had elected the village as a holiday home.-Wiki

Throughout this time this village has remained unchanged.

 

Once the thermal bath was made here. Today, there are spas, or you can immerse yourself in the small path of hot water (only the feet) that crosses the village and heads towards the steep escarpment of the Parco naturale dei Mulini

 

In 1982 the Soviet director Andrej Arsen'evič Tarkovskij, exiled for some years in Tuscany, set many scenes from the movie Nostalghia in Bagno Vignoni, which the following year won the Grand Prix du cinéma de création at the Cannes festival.
