Montecatini, Tuscany , Italy By Paul Goldfinger ©

The old Tuscan hill town of Montecatini is famous for its thermal baths. You go there and walk around with your hands clenched behind your back, stopping to have a cup of their warm “curative” water.

You can take a warm bath, do some breathing treatments, listen to live classical music or just people watch, which is what we did.

Besides the water, you might want to try their Chianti and Brunello wines.  After all, red wine is also curative.
