The snow and rains that fall copiously on the Northern Apennine Mountains follow a long path through deep rocks and uncontaminated underground channels, on a slow but steady journey of over two years, until Galvanina Mineral Water flows pure and clear from the summit of San Lorenzo Monte near Rimini, a hill known locally as "Paradise".
Galvanina is one of Italy's oldest springs of Natural Mineral Water. The nearby city of Rimini, founded as a Roman colony in 268 BC, was right from the outset one of the Romans' most important cities in the whole of northern Italy. The interest of the Romans for this spring and its therapeutic waters is confirmed by the archeological discoveries made during modern excavations for the collection tunnels used to gather Galvanina Mineral Water.
Galvanina first bottled its water early in the 20th century, using glass bottles sold mainly to a limited circle of local aristocratic families. Since then more and more consumers have come to appreciate Galvanina Mineral Water for its beneficial digestive properties. Year by year the area of sales grew, until the water was distributed throughout Italy. By 1989 Galvanina Mineral Water had reached every continent of the world.
