The new season of Una gita fuoriporta, the original TV series devoted to experiential tourism, lifestyle and the regions that tell the story of authentic Italy, continues its journey through local excellence and identity with an episode entirely dedicated to Viterbo and its extraordinary spa system.
An instalment that explores the most intimate side of this provincial capital, between nature, history and wellbeing, during the city's most iconic period: San Pellegrino in Fiore, when the historic centre is transformed into a sprawling garden and the Renaissance beauty of Tuscia is enriched with floral installations, culture and hospitality.
A narrative that takes viewers on a journey of discovery through five unique spa experiences, five different ways of enjoying water, relaxation and regeneration, in one of Italy's capitals of innovative, ever-relevant spa culture.
Viterbo, Spa City: an identity that flows with the water
The episode opens with the city's more horticultural side, with a contribution from Mayor Chiara Frontini, who guides viewers through a contemporary vision of Viterbo: a city that harnesses its historical and thermal heritage as a driver of tourism and cultural development.
The story is then enriched by the voices of regional promotion and culture, thanks to Patrizia Notaristefano, who introduces the link between urban identity, events and international appeal.
The five spa experiences: a journey through healing waters
The narrative heart of the episode is an immersive itinerary through the area's leading spa establishments, each with its own philosophy of wellbeing.
It begins with the contemporary elegance of Hotel Salus Terme, where water becomes a sensory experience among pools, wellness trails and architecture designed for total relaxation. Here, Alessandra Biagini shares her vision of spa hospitality as a complete experience combining comfort and regeneration.
The journey continues to the historic Terme dei Papi, a symbol of Viterbo's spa tradition, where heritage and grandeur come together in a path rooted in Roman antiquity. The story is guided by Marco Sensi, who conveys the identity and significance of one of Italy's most iconic spa sites.
The narrative then moves to the more contemporary, land-rooted dimension of Tuscia Terme, where wellbeing blends with nature and sustainability. Sonia Belli accompanies viewers through an authentic and surprising philosophy of relaxation.
Plenty of space is also given to Bagnaccio Terme & Natura, a free, open-air spa experience immersed in the landscape, where water becomes a natural, accessible element, as described by Bruno Federici. Here we are along the Via Francigena, crossed by numerous pilgrims and visitors who find a place to rest and recharge at these thermal waters.
Closing the itinerary is Therma Oasi, an introspective journey into psychophysical regeneration. With Fernando Barberini, the story focuses on the connection between balance, nature and health. A place where the spa experience expands into an integrated approach, set within a natural environment designed for complete energy recovery.
The story of Tuscia on the occasion of San Pellegrino in Fiore
The episode also gives voice to urban planning and tourism development through Marco Nunzi, and the strategic vision behind events through Katia Scardozzi, who highlight the role of cultural and tourism initiatives as a fundamental asset for Tuscia's growth.
The narrative framework is further enriched by the technical and planning contribution of Christian Ciucciarelli, who interprets the concept behind the 2026 edition of San Pellegrino in Fiore.
David Romano, journalist and author of the TV series, at the end of production:
«This episode of Una gita fuoriporta is a journey into the deepest identity of Viterbo. We don't just tell the story of the spas as places of wellbeing, but as the cultural, historical and social expression of a unique area. The five experiences we've told reflect five different ways of experiencing water, but they all share the same soul: that of regeneration. Set against an extraordinary backdrop like San Pellegrino in Fiore, Viterbo confirms itself as a destination capable of combining beauty, authenticity and a contemporary vision of tourism.»
