The Etruscan Civilization arose in the area we now call Tuscany a few hundred years before the Roman Empire (https://www.worldhistory.org/Etruscan_Civilization/). About 3 miles from our apartment, there’s an old thermal bath built by the Etruscans. It’s called Le Caldane (pronounced la cal-donnie). The bath is no longer “thermal,” although you do see a few streams of bubbles emerging from the bottom. I guess it’s not a big enough site to warrant protection and preservation. At least one website reports that the baths were destroyed by Sienese troops in 1260 and rebuilt in 1400. I am going with the story that we were in a bath built at least 2,500 years ago- no wonder the hot water is no longer running.
