translate English to German: The origins of the town are lost in the mists of time. It seems that already in the Etruscan age the place was known of and inhabited, certainly the first reliable historic records date back to Roman times, when it looks like Catiline chose the hill of Montecatini Alto to found his camp, which is where the name Mons Catilinae came from, which then became Montecatini.
Der Ursprung der Stadt verliert sich im Nebel der Vergangenheit.
