| On the first day of July of 1907 is born the Kursaal, the temple of the Opera, Operetta and Worldliness. Was located on Corso Roma. In 1915 was completed the elevation on the left side of the building, with its tower. It is installed in the large hall the CASINO . The building had also also a great theater, Coffee Shop, Salon Concerts, Circolo Forestieri ( Cercle des Etrangers / Strangers Circle with gambling) and shops.Very luxurious and limited one could only enter in Evening Dress Montecatini acquires international fame. Polititians, Intellectuals, the Great Clergy, Famous artists start attending the Baths. It seems that many people who flock to the city to attend the Casino , had no interest in the spa.That tarnish the reputation of the town, and will contribute to the closure of the casino.Meanwhile the property passes to the Società Anonima Kursaal Montecatini based in Rome . Between 1927 and 1928, the Company proceeds to extensive renovation work. In the early 30s the casino have been closed .In the mid 30s will be installed a theater .In 1957 was demolished and was built in the place a new theater. |
