Ex Stabilimento Idroterapico-Oropa
Questo edificio fu fondato come cascinale nel 1856, successivamente fu poi ampliato per trasformarsi in uno stabilimento idroterapico sotto la direzione del dottor Guelpa che lo gestì fino al 1871 al quale poi subentrò il dottor Mazzucchetti che ne divenne il proprietario nel 1882. Oropa Bagni fu uno dei primi stabilimenti idroterapici in Italia ed era il luogo dove andava a passare l'estate la bella ed aristocratica vita dell'800.
La posizione dell'edificio a ridosso della montagna era riparato dai venti e dall'umidità cosicché in estate la temperatura non superava mai i 23° C, clima ideale tutt'oggi, se si vuole godere di un po' di refrigerio nelle nostre estati torride.
Lo stabilimento poteva ospitare anche più di duecento persone, garantendo comfort adeguati al livello sociale degli ospiti e un accurato servizio di assistenza clinica.
Era un albergo elegante, circondato da giardini, da laghetti e da passeggiate, con un buon ristorante, con sale di lettura, da biliardo e da ballo e soprattutto con molte stanze di cura, all'avanguardia e di gran moda.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Genoa ( JEN-oh-ə; Italian: Genova [ˈdʒɛːnova] (listen); Ligurian: Zêna Ligurian pronunciation: [ˈzeːna]; English, historically, and Latin: Genua) is the capital of the Italian region of Liguria and the sixth-largest city in Italy. In 2015, 594,733 people lived within the city's administrative limits. As of the 2011 Italian census, the Province of Genoa, which in 2015 became the Metropolitan City of Genoa, counted 855,834 resident persons. Over 1.5 million people live in the wider metropolitan area stretching along the Italian Riviera.Located on the Gulf of Genoa in the Ligurian Sea, Genoa has historically been one of the most important ports on the Mediterranean: it is currently the busiest in Italy and in the Mediterranean Sea and twelfth-busiest in the European Union. Genoa has been nicknamed la Superba (the proud one) due to its glorious past and impressive landmarks. Part of the old town of Genoa was inscribed on the World Heritage List (UNESCO) in 2006 as Genoa: Le Strade Nuove and the system of the Palazzi dei Rolli. The city's rich cultural history in art, music and cuisine allowed it to become the 2004 European Capital of Culture. It is the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, Andrea Doria, Niccolò Paganini, Giuseppe Mazzini, Renzo Piano and Grimaldo Canella, founder of the House of Grimaldi, among others.
Genoa, which forms the southern corner of the Milan-Turin-Genoa industrial triangle of Northwest Italy, is one of the country's major economic centers. The city has hosted massive shipyards and steelworks since the 19th century, and its solid financial sector dates back to the Middle Ages. The Bank of Saint George, founded in 1407, is among the oldest in the world and has played an important role in the city's prosperity since the middle of the 15th century. Today a number of leading Italian companies are based in the city, including Fincantieri, Selex ES, Ansaldo Energia, Ansaldo STS, Edoardo Raffinerie Garrone, Piaggio Aerospace, Mediterranean Shipping Company and Costa Cruises.
EX PREVENTORIO DI BRAMAIANO: UNA STORIA RICOPERTA DALLA POLVERE E DAL RICORDO DEI TEMPI PASSATI.
E.P.A.S. PRESENTA: RIVALUTAZIONE STORICO CULTURALE EFFETTUATA GRAZIE AL BENESTARE ED ALLA COLLABORAZIONE DA PARTE DEL TRIBUNALE FALLIMENTARE DI PAVIA ATTUALE PROPRIETARIO DELLA STRUTTURA SI RINGRAZIA L'ILL. SIG. G.D. ED IL CURATORE DEL FALLIMENTO DOTT. GIULIO BARBERINI.
NOTE STORICHE:L’ex Preventorio maschile di Bramaiano, edificio a 610 metri di altitudine che, sulla strada che sale a Prato Barbieri dista poco più di tre chilometri dalla piazza di Bettola. Si tratta di un edificio con ampio giardino e aree verdi fondato da Rocco Chiapponi, proprietario terriero e imprenditore agricolo di Castel San Giovanni (che aveva contribuito a fondare il Consorzio Antitubercolare di Piacenza), che morì nel 1938 poco prima dell’inaugurazione della struttura a lui dedicata. Il Preventorio operava come efficiente luogo di ricovero dei bambini della provincia di Piacenza a rischio di malattie polmonari, che necessitavano di cure preventive e di aria salubre. Nel 1944 quando non era in attività causa gli eventi bellici, l’edificio fu requisito dalle truppe partigiane del comandante unico Emilio Canzi, che incaricò il giovane studente di medicina Ettore Valdini di allestire, posti-letto convincendo le suore ancora presenti. Il 29 agosto vi furono trasferiti e curati decine di partigiani.“Museo diffuso dell’abbandono: l’ex Preventorio e l’istituto san Luigi di Bettola. A fine novembre il Preventorio-Ospedale fu sgomberato e occupato dalle truppe nazi-fasciste. Nel dopoguerra l’edificio tornò ad essere centro di cura per le malattie respiratorie fino alla fine degli anni Sessanta del secolo scorso. “..... La ricerca continua con E.P.A.S.......
