Although Castel San Pietro spa was renowned in the past for its specialisation in mud
therapy, today the inhalatory treatments far outnumber those former. Castel San Pietro is
situated at the centre of a system of rapid communications, and its nearness to Bologna (only
10 minutes on the motorway) and the driving force of the tertiary sector with the Fair, the
University and the Congress centres has reinforced its tourist-spa vocation. The sulphurous
and sodiobromidiodic mineral waters gush out on the left of the river Sillaro. The mud is
obtained by soaking the clay extracted from the old quarries at San Martino in Pedriolo in
sodio-iodic water and then undergoes particular refining treatment.The money which has
been spent recently has gone mainly in the rehabilitation field. In fact the new physical
therapy departments have been restructured, and the unit containing three thermal swimming
pools specially designed for rehabilitation and vascular circuits; these improvements make
the Castel San Pietro Spa a leader in the sector. Another valuable cure is balneotherapy with
hydro-massage. The concept of well-being is in line with treatments of rehabilitation,
prevention and fitness which are concentrated in the fitness centre where he problems of
obesity, cellulite, acne and capillary ectasie are studied, under the ever present medical
control of a specialist staff.
