If Salsomaggiore Terme is as we know it today, part of the merit also goes to the development of the floral style which, simultaneously with the affirmation of Liberty, helped to create the sensation of fantasy and breathtaking geometry from which anyone who set foot in the city was overwhelmed.

Already the fact that the salamander in the flames was one of the main subjects of the mosaic culture of the city explains how much this art of passion and patience had in the past a capital in the Emilian spa town par excellence, which sported mosaic decorations in the most characteristic corners.

Searching for traces of it in vintage pictures you immediately come across Piazza del Popolo, a blank canvas for gifted gardeners who, over the years, they indulged themselves with countless and varied designs. The flowerbed in front of the Palazzo delle Terme Berzieri, now replaced by a scenic fountain, was just one of the examples of a practice capable of garnering worldwide recognition.
