Fiuggi water is a natural, oligomineral water. Its composition comes from the tufaceous ground of the hollows occupied by the Spas. It is subjected to a filtering action which purifies and reduces its mineralisation becoming an oligomineral water of a very strong diuretic effect. It provokes the expulsion of kidney stones and prevents their formation, it is also particularly indicated during preparation of operations for urinary calculosis and post-operative treatment.

If you're in Rome in the spring or from August to November, you can take a wonderful day off and head for the hills south of the city, to the enchanting medieval town of Fiuggi. Originally called Anticoli di Campagna, the obscure conglomerate of stone buildings gained renown as early as the 1300s, when Pope Boniface VIII claimed his kidney stones had been healed by the mineral waters that gushed forth from the nearby Fiuggi spring. Two centuries later they relieved Michelangelo of what he called "the only kind of stone I couldn't love."
