Galvanina
Museum
The exhibits of the museum give precious scientific
documentation to help reconstruct the history of the spring and the formation of
the terrain from which Galvanina Mineral Water flows.  The museum has fascinating
formations of limestone and Milazzian sand deposits, with fossil shells from the
Quaternary period and artifacts found during excavation work and restoration of
the ancient Roman spring, including ornamental vases, terracotta pipes, a fine
sculpted Roman head from the period of Caesar Augustus (1st century BC) and
decorated Renaissance ledges.
A particularly prominent exhibit is the
16th-century coat-of-arms carved in compacted sandstone, now used as the
Galvanina emblem.
During
restoration of the old Renaissance fountain, which suggest that the site was
once occupied by an Ancient Roman Spring. Galvanina is still famous in Italy for
having made accessible an extraordinary subterranean panorama of rocks,
channels, crevices and watercourses through which Galvanina Mineral Water has
flowed deeply for countless millennia. The spring is located on the crest of the
"Paradise" hill (350 meters or about 1148 feet above sea level), in the heart of
Italy and close to San Marino, the world's oldest republic, and Rimini, founded
by the Romans and now a famous holiday resort.
