At the origin of the story, thermal baths were places with monumental forms: in the Rome of the Emperors they were built as the fulcrum hub in a constantly moving urban fabric. Inside there were spaces dedicated to “otium”, free thinking and deep relaxation, but also to "negotium" and business: this is how the spirit, in addition to the body, was reinvigorated.
Then there was a time when spas were holiday resorts, designed to evade everyday and city life. These are the early years of the twentieth century, just when Freud cradles newborn psychoanalysis and the Great Gatsby is about to ride the sparkling 1920s. A brilliant era, but also mysterious and devoted to discovering and studying new phenomena. The vapors of the baths resemble the exhalations of the mind, which for the first time are analyzed to make the transition from "miracle" to "phenomenon".
Today, it is the time when thermal baths and spas are a place of care for the body but above all for the spirit: people go there to take a break, in the name of well-being and self-care. They float suspended, between the useful and the delightful. A magnificent "suspension". Tempio della Salute, for the first time, brings this universe to your home.
