As early as 1771-72 Pietro Leopoldo ordered the construction of the baths at Montecatini at public expense. In less than a decade the basis of the spa was created in an area which up to then had been malaria infested and abandoned. The new spa was linked to the Lucca-Pistoia road by a broad, tree lined avenue. Between the eighteen forties and fifties, the Giusti family began exploiting the marvelous hot-wet world of the recently discovered grotto, through the construction of the "health facility" and hotel. By the 'sixties the Giusti grotto had attained such international renown that it had gone well beyond the "pioneering" phase so that it was no longer second to the nearby spas at Montecatini.
