The Stabian Baths in the ancient city of Pompeii

The thermae were constructed around 125 BC. Hundred years later, the baths were connected to Pompeii's aquaduct. They were damaged in the earthquake of 62 AD.

Heyyia Claude! 🥰

Ho bisogno de tu ayuda con una mia fic...Qual è per te la città più romantica della Toscana? E che tipo di attività possiamo fare allí?

Better ask first someone native then go look in articles or something...Seems more legit that way! :D

[Ignore the obvious Spanish I left there... 🤭]

Ciao! 🥰

Coucou, Red! Merci de ton patience 🩷 et pour ton ask!

I'm going to answer in English, maybe it can be useful for other people as well! I'm always happy to talk about my region, i love it so much, so thank you again for asking my recs!

I think it depends a lot on the vibes that you are looking for. I will give you an overview of different options, i hope that they can be inspiring. If there's something you like, i can go more into detail! Let me know if i can be of help with anything!

তততততততততততততততততততততততত

If you and your characters love art, Florence is an amazing city.

(Duomo di Firenze, Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, credits pic)

Its art, history and architecture are extraordinary. The Uffizi Gallery (Galleria degli Uffizi) is an absolute must if you love Renaissance. A great way to admire Botticelli, Raffaello, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Tiziano's art, in one museum.

Moreover, you can walk around Cathedral Square (Piazza del Duomo), where you can see the Cathedral built by Brunelleschi, Giotto's Campanile and the Baptistery, and Piazza della Signoria, where you can find Palazzo Vecchio, David by Michelangelo and Loggia dei Lanzi, and admire their masterpieces for free. 🏛️

You could also visit the Boboli Gardens, where you can enjoy the Italian garden style, created by the Medici family, that became a model for many European courts.

And a night at the theatre could be a great idea for a date! At Teatro Verdi, for example, there's plenty of different shows!

Obviously, these are just some ideas.

By the way, if i have to be honest, i love Florence, and i always gaze in awe at the beauty of its monuments ...but it's also a little chaotic for my taste. Sooo, maybe for a romantic getaway I would choose something else. (It depends on what you like!)

তততততততততততততততততততততততত

For something more adventurous, what about Grotta del Vento? It's a beautiful system of caves in the Apuan Alps (Garfagnana), with stalactites and stalagmites. Its karst environment is unique and fascinating. 🦇

A Tuscanian city that I love is Lucca.

I adore walking along the old city walls (you can go there by bike too!): a panoramic walkway overlooking the city that conceals secret passages, hideaways and ramparts. Their secular trees make the view magic in every season. In autumn, foliage is beautiful! 🍂

তততততততততততততততততততততততত

If you and your characters love the sea and the story is set in summer, you could take into consideration a mini cruise in the Tuscan Archipelago. In one or two days, you can explore some of its islands, like Giglio, Elba, Giannutri. Swimming there is beautiful. If you don't like the idea of spending time on a boat, the coasts of Monte Argentario are wonderful too! 🌊

(Isola del Giglio, credits pic)

তততততততততততততততততততততততত

There could be less activities than in bigger cities, but I think you could also go for a romantic getaway in one (or more) of our hill towns. Great view, amazing food, and an enchanting experience! And it feels more intimate than in the main cities. Monteriggioni, Cortona, Pienza, San Gimignano, Volterra... The atmosphere is so poetic...And you can spend some time in the surrounding countryside, idyllic!

তততততততততততততততততততততততত

For a lovey-dovey day, you could write about a day at the thermal springs! There's plenty of thermal baths in Tuscany, and there are usually hotels and spas where you can have lunch, sleep, have a couples massage and enjoy the hot springs. Rapolano, Sassetta, Sorano, Montecatini,... In Tuscany you can find lots of thermal springs, so you could also have a day at the thermal baths and one in a nearby town.

(Terme di Sassetta, credits pic)

তততততততততততততততততততততততত

Wherever your characters go, I think food play a big role if you want them to enjoy their Tuscan trip to the full.

Pasta is always delicious. There are lots of different types of pasta, for example pici and pappardelle (long pasta), tortelli (filled pasta, the filling depending on where you are: for example in Maremma they are filled with ricotta and spinach, in Mugello they are filled with potatoes), topini (small lumps of dough made with potatoes, flour and eggs). Pasta is our first course, in Italy it's not served as a side dish for meat or fish.

(Warning: I'm going to talk about meat dishes. If this makes you uncomfortable, skip until 🌱)

Pasta may be served with ragù (Bolognese sauce, a meat-based sauce), ragù and aglione (aglione is a delicate type of garlic), melted butter and sage, mushrooms, or tomato sauce. 🍝

(Pappardelle al ragù, credits pic)

Before pasta, as an appetizer, you may have cured meats (salame, prosciutto, finocchiona, lardo di Colonnata,...), cheese (various types of pecorino), coccoli (lumps of fried dough) and crostini (slices of bread served with ragù, mushrooms, fegatini which is a sauce made of chicken liver, or other sauces...).

(Traditional Antipasto Toscano - Tuscan appetizers, credits pic)

I don't live by the sea, so i know meat dishes better 😅 As second course, a Bistecca alla Fiorentina or a Tagliata di Manzo (beefsteaks - rare is the perfect way to have them but i get it that it's not to everyone's taste) may be perfect. 🥩

(I also enjoy pizza so much, and you can eat it everywhere in Tuscany, but the foods i've written about are more traditional)

🌱

If your characters enjoy drinking, Tuscany is famous for its wines (like Chianti Classico, Morellino di Scansano, Vernaccia di San Gimignano, Brunello di Montalcino, Bolgheri Sassicaia). Desserts go well with vinsanto (a dessert wine). 🍷

For dessert, you might go for cantuccini (almond biscuits) with vinsanto (we dip them in the wine). If the story is set during Christmas holidays, ricciarelli (almond and sugar biscuits) and panforte (a dessert with almonds and candied fruits) are some of our traditional desserts.

(Cantuccini and vinsanto, credits pic)

You may have coffee after the dessert. And, after generous meals, ammazzacaffè (a small glass of liqueur) too. General recommendation for your characters (and for tourists visiting Italy): it's better not to ask for a cappuccino during lunch or dinner (please 🩷)!

তততততততততততততততততততততততত

I hope this is useful, sorry it took me some time, and please, let me know if i can help you somehow! Je suis si heureuse que tu es en train d'écrire une fanfiction qui se déroule en Toscane 🩷🩷🩷 Je te fais de gros bisous, bonne soirée et joyeuses Pâques 🌷🐰🐣

The Importance of Technological Protection for Spring Heritage. The thermal water of the Baths of Popoli

image credit vitamina project

The Popoli community has a longstanding connection with its spring heritage. The Pescara Springs, a notable aspect of their community, are home to a vital Blue Ecosystem. The waters flow from four caves creating a small lake called Capo Pescara. It is essential to protect this ecosystem using technology.

The image is a close-to-reality setting of the regional nature reserve "Sorgenti del Pescara," digitally reproduced by The Board Behind

The Municipality of Popoli Terme - Comune di Popoli - located in Abruzzi, is focusing on water access, protection, enhancement, water monitoring, and reviving inland communities. The hamlet is situated between the lower reaches of the Aterno-Sagittario River to the northwest, the Peligna Valley to the south, the Maiella massif to the southeast, and the Riserva naturale regionale guidata "Sorgenti del Pescara" .

The community is committed to improving and safeguarding water resources, and the International Water Academy was created to achieve this goal. The Ampioraggio Foundation - Fondazione Ampioraggio - initiated this innovative project, which aims to transform the area's rich raw materials into a lever for sustainable and technological development.

The 'image is a close-to-reality setting of the regional nature reserve "Sorgenti del Pescara," digitally reproduced by The Board Behind.

The International Water Academy is an open ecosystem that brings together researchers, businesses, administrators, and organizations to focus on conserving and enhancing water resources.

Through knowledge and technology, this community of innovators is working towards transforming Popoli Terme Terme di Popoli into a "water city," a center for education, research, and innovation on culture, environment, energy, use, and work, while adhering to the principles of sustainability and water resource protection. Popoli Terme - Città delle Acque

The 'image is a close-to-reality setting of the regional nature reserve "Sorgenti del Pescara," digitally reproduced by The Board Behind.

This group of innovative individuals in Popoli Terme is working towards transforming their community into a "city of water," an international hub for all things water-related. Their goal is to promote sustainable practices and water resource protection through training, research, and innovation in areas such as culture, environment, energy, use, and work.

This innovative initiative is a peripheral area that deserves attention and dissemination as a good practice for other sites facing water access and safety issues.

In today's world, we require new ideas and technologies to improve the resilience of our water supply system. Some examples include better management of water resources with the assistance of artificial intelligence and moisture capture systems that create drinkable water in areas lacking infrastructure.

The upcoming events at the International Water Academy will focus on expert discussions regarding "Funds and Open Innovation for Water Management," "AgriFood for Water Innovation," "Innovative Ideas to Support Water Savings," and "Tools for On-the-ground Management."

A surprising find "Le Tre Rose" restaurant set amidst evocative thermal baths in the ancient village of Porretta Terme, in the heart of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines (Italy).

The best taste of the evening was a steak tartare which they call "Italian sushi" -- raw sirloin wrapped in chard, lightly flavored with paprika.

A spécial vintage of craft beer "Anniversary" from Apecchio Italy.

Top Attractions in Budapest

Budapest has a wide range of attractions for tourists to go and visit I’ve listed a few favourites and will tell you a little about them.

Buda Castle

Buda Castle is a historic fortress complex located on Castle Hill in Budapest, Hungary. The castle's origins date back to the 13th century when a fortress was built on the hill by King Béla IV of Hungary. Over the centuries, it has been expanded, destroyed, and rebuilt multiple times.

The castle complex includes the Royal Palace, the Matthias Church, and the Fisherman's Bastion. The Royal Palace, at the heart of the complex, served as the residence of Hungarian kings for centuries. It houses several museums, including the Hungarian National Gallery and the Budapest History Museum, showcasing the country's art and history.

Buda Castle has faced destruction and reconstruction due to wars and occupations, but it remains a symbol of Budapest's rich history and architectural heritage. Today, it's not only a historical site but also a cultural hub, attracting visitors from around the world.

Fisherman’s Bastion

The Fisherman's Bastion is a picturesque terrace located on the Buda Castle Hill in Budapest, Hungary. Built between 1895 and 1902, it offers stunning panoramic views of the city, the Danube River, and the Pest side of Budapest.

The terrace is named after the medieval guild of fishermen who defended this stretch of the city walls during the Middle Ages.

One of the notable features of the Fisherman's Bastion is its white-stoned, decorative parapet with columns and statues, providing a fairy tale-like ambiance. The terrace is a popular destination not only for its architectural beauty but also for its panoramic views, especially towards the Hungarian Parliament building and the Pest side of the city.

Visitors can explore the bastion for free, but there is a fee to access the upper towers for an even more spectacular view. Whether during the day or illuminated at night, the Fisherman's Bastion stands as one of Budapest's iconic landmarks, offering a captivating experience for locals and tourists alike.

Thermal Baths

Budapest is famous for its thermal baths, and these rejuvenating havens are an integral part of the city's cultural and social scene. The thermal baths in Budapest are not just about relaxation; they also have a rich history dating back to the Roman era.

One of the most renowned thermal baths in Budapest is the Széchenyi Thermal Bath, located in City Park. It's the largest medicinal bath in Europe, featuring a stunning neo-baroque architecture. The Széchenyi Bath has various indoor and outdoor pools with varying temperatures, as well as saunas and steam rooms. It's a popular spot for both locals and tourists, offering a unique bathing experience.

Gellért Baths, situated in the Gellért Hotel, is another iconic thermal bath complex. The Art Nouveau style of the building adds to the charm of the baths. The Gellért Baths feature thermal pools, swimming pools, and additional services like massages and spa treatments.

Rudas Baths, with a history dating back to the 16th century during the time of the Ottoman Empire, is known for its Turkish-style dome and octagonal pool. It offers a traditional Turkish bathing experience with thermal pools of varying temperatures.

Budapest's thermal baths are not only places for relaxation but also cultural and social hubs. They provide a unique opportunity to soak in the city's history while enjoying the therapeutic benefits of the thermal waters. Whether you're seeking relaxation, a social experience, or a taste of history, Budapest's thermal baths have something to offer for everyone.

Shoes on the Danube

The Shoes on the Danube Bank is a poignant and moving memorial located on the banks of the Danube River in Budapest, Hungary. This memorial pays tribute to the victims of the Holocaust, specifically those who were shot and thrown into the river during World War II.

The memorial consists of 60 pairs of rusted iron shoes of various styles and sizes, representing the men, women, and children who were forced to remove their shoes before being shot at the edge of the river. The shoes are lined up along the riverbank, creating a somber and powerful visual impact.

It has become a symbol of Budapest's commitment to honouring the memory of those who lost their lives during one of the darkest periods in history.
