Recoaro Terme is a town and ''comune'' in the province of Vicenza, Veneto, Italy. It is known for his mineral spring waters: ''Lora'' is bottled and commercialized, while some of the others are used for hydrotherapy in ''Terme Recoaro'' Spa. ==History== The area of Recoaro was settled in the 13th century by German colonists, a document mentioning a ''villa'' in Rovegliana (now a ''frazione'' of Recoaro) in 1262. Later it was under the Scaliger, the Visconti of Milan and then under the Republic of Venice, to which it belonged until the late 18th century. In 1689 thermal waters were discovered, which led to the development of Recoaro as a tourist resort in the following century, although most of the population lived on agriculture until the 19th century. After being part of the Austrian puppet Lombardy-Venetia, Recoaro became part of the unified Kingdom of Italy in 1866. Friedrich Nietzsche sojourned here in 1881 and allegedly received the inspiration for his ''Thus Spoke Zarathustra''. During the Second World War Recoaro was the site of a Nazi command, with the occupation of many buildings by German troops, including the spa, which was bombed by Usa air force in April 1945. After World War II it became an important center for the bottling of the homonymous mineral water ''Acqua Recoaro'' and other beverages; reaching a considerable development in the Italian market with a vast array of drinks, including two trademarks: ''Gingerino'' and ''Acqua Brillante'' (a tonic water). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Recoaro Terme」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
