San Pellegrino Terme ( Italian pronunciation: [sam pelleˈɡriːno ˈtɛrme] , Bergamasque : San Pelegrì ) is a commune in the province of Bergamo , Lombardy , Italy. Located in the Val Brembana , it is the location of the beverage company San Pellegrino , where its carbonated mineral water drinks are produced. [3]
The town is home to several Art Nouveau edifices from the early 20th century, including the Casinò , the Grand Hotel and the Terme ('Baths').
Leonardo da Vinci visited the source in Lombardy to sample the town's "miraculous" water. [ citation needed ]
During the 15th and 16th centuries, the town was referred to frequently as Mathusanash Pellegrino in writings coming from the Papal States , France and the Holy Roman Empire . It may have originated from satire concerning the Italian Wars which happened around San Pellegrino from 1494 and 1559. [4] [5] [6] [7]
The 18th stage of the 2011 Giro d'Italia finished in San Pellegrino Terme. [8]
