An old legend tells that even Leonardo da Vinci, who thoroughly studied water and its beneficial properties, during the XVI century visited the San Pellegrino spring and traced a map of the surroundings.\nThe mineral water who springs in San Pellegrino was analysed for the first time in 1748: the results show that its composition has not changed through the years. In 1760 Pellegrino Foppoli arranged some benches around the spring to let people taste and enjoy the water. And it is in this period that the use of cure some ailments with mineral waters started taking hold, especially among rich and noble people.The mineral water who springs in San Pellegrino was analysed for the first time in 1748: the results show that its composition has not changed through the years.
