The most famous spa in town is the Tettuccio Terme located on the main street of Montecatini Terme - Viale Verdi, next to the park. The Tettuccio Terme was built in the late 18th century by the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Leopold of Habsburg - Lorraine, the son of the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa. The first three spas that were built were the Tettuccio, the Regina and Leopoldine. These three spas made Montecatini Terme famous all over Europe, and a favorite place for the rich and the royalty. These days the spa treatments have advanced and they include many modern methods of massage, mud pack treatments and hydrotherapy. Famous visitors to Montecatini Terme include, but are not limited to - Puccini who composed parts of La Boheme. Town: Italy, Pescia, PesciaPESCIAEconomic activities in and around the city include flower growing (carnations, for which it is an international market center) and paper production Archaeological excavations have suggested that the Lombards built here a first settlement on the river banks. The name of the city comes in fact from a Lombard word, meaning \"river\". Lucca occupied and destroyed Pescia during the 13th century, but the town was quickly rebuilt. During the entire Middle Ages Florence and Lucca contended for the city, as the latter was located on the border between the two republics. In 1339, after almost ten years of war, Florence occupied it. The economy of the town was founded on mulberry cultivation and silkworm breeding. Heavily struck by the Black Death, Pescia overcame the demographic and economical depression which had ensued only at the end of that century (15th century). At the end of 17th century the Grand-duke of Tuscany declared Pescia \"City of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany\". In the 19th century the silk production was so important that Pescia was called \"the little Manchester of Tuscany\". The economy of the town dropped after a commercial conflict between France and Italy (1888). The passage of Napoleon highly damaged the economy of the city, because he substituted silk with sugar beet. Since 1925 Pesciatins found an alternative economic source in cultivating and trading flowers and olive plants (since the end of the 19th century). Bombardaments during World War II highly damaged Pescia. · Palazzo del Vicario (13th-14th centuries), now the Town Hall · Palazzo Palagio or del Podestà (12th-13th centuries) · Cathedral, dating perhaps to the 5th-6th century but later rebuilt several times. It is mentioned for the first time in 872 but the oldest surviving remains date to the 13th century. It houses a funerary tomb by Raffaello da Montelupo. · Gothic church of St. Francis (13th century). The Cardini Chapel, whose design was once attributed to Brunelleschi, it is now assigned to Andrea Cavalcanti: it houses a fresco by Neri di Bicci (1458). The right apse chapel has a fresco cycle with Stories of the Virgin by Bicci di Lorenzo (15th century), while in the left chapel is a Madonna with Child by Angelo Puccinelli (1335).
