Water is the fundamental element that has allowed Montecatini Terme to thrive over the centuries. The benefits of its thermal springs are celebrated by the many fountains scattered throughout the city’s main squares. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Imagining the Railway Station as a gateway to the city, the first monument that greets the tourist is indeed a fountain, the Mazzoni Fountain.<\/p>\n\n

This sculpture was built in the 1930s to complete the new railway station, designed by architect Angiolo Mazzoni, after whom the fountain is named. The presence of this imposing monument in the square in front of the station highlights the strong connection between the city and water, which is further enhanced by the details of the fountain itself: a tall tower covered in blue mosaics, surrounded by three sloping basins in which water flows forming small waterfalls. <\/p>\n\n

The station was built between 1933 and 1937 to support the strong expansion that the city experienced at that time, making the only station in Gramsci Square insufficient. In 2016, a project was launched to restore the structure’s waiting rooms, which were opened to the public for the first time during the 2021 FAI Spring Days. The work, overseen by the Superintendency, sought to use the original materials and furnishings as much as possible to be faithful to Mazzoni’s work. <\/p>\n\n
