The place that took its name from where the thermal water springs.

Once again, I’m here to tell you about another new discovery I made last week. In my previous post, I talked about Casciano, a hamlet in the municipality of Murlo in the province of Siena. Well, right nearby, there’s a small group of houses that I wouldn’t even call a village. However, since I often pass through this area, I recently learned that during the construction of the Siena-Grosseto road, the remains of a Roman kiln were discovered. This really highlights the importance of this place—not only its historical significance but also the fact that these areas still hold many archaeological surprises waiting to be uncovered. And, as you know, I’m super passionate about these things! So, I decided to explore this little place called Fontazzi, which most likely gets its name from the presence of several thermal springs in the area.
