Bognanco

[ROBBYBOBBY64]

I got this Bognanco mineral water Piedmont Italy C. 1928. It is an olive green turn mold quart bottle with drippy lip. I like the heavy glass and the turn marks, also the embossed base and unique shape. Pictures don't do it justice, it is kind of crude for the age. Bognanco is the name of a village it has springs with healing properties discovered by a little girl. I put a link to the story. Hope you like.

Springs of Bognanco

Bognanco is a village situated in the valley of the same name, a short distance from Domodossola. Its historic mineral water springs, active since 1863, were the first in Italy to be authorized to market water nationally

There was an old movie about some little girl finding a spring with healing powers. I wonder if it's the same spring? Now I will be bugged trying to remember that old movie, lol.

I went to college in Italy, the University of Siena. Beautiful country.

I just remembered the movie, but I think it took place in France. It's called The Song Of Bernadette, and the little girl digs in the dirt, and a spring appears there later, like magic.
