The report concluded with these very words : ‘Apart from a conclusion that can be contrary to these findings, that would be based on a bacteriological examination, nonetheless, the chemical analysis, judges this water to be amongst the best of table waters’, and subsequently in 1913, the report based on a bacteriological analysis confirmed that the water examined : ‘is believed to be derived from an extremely pure source’.
In 1957, Bauda Water started to be examined within the institute of Medical Pathology at the University of Genoa, and after more than one year of scrutiny, the Institute concluded that drinking this water is ‘…..highly recommended for the treatment of urinary calculosis’.
