The bathtub is the favorite object of wellness and relaxation, where you can spend the most intimate and pleasant moments of the day. But it has not always been so in its history. Over the centuries, the tub has become increasingly important, becoming the main bathroom accessory. We find 3 curiosities on the bathtub, tracing the birth, history and evolution of this furnishing item.

Tracks of drain systems were found in India, but the Greeks were the first to establish the aesthetic charges of this sanitary ware – In the 1,700 BC The first stone bathtub was found, later, also those of metal and terracotta were catch on – Even though the bathroom concept was profoundly different from the modern one and was unrelated to the function of hygiene and body care. The bathroom was conceived as a social place, ideal for meeting and discussing. A function assimilated and ennobled by the Romans with the spas.
History
The curiosities about the bathtub history do not end there. With the end of the Roman empire, for many centuries the spas disappeared and the stone tanks were virtually no more. In the Middle Ages, the wooden tub began to spread, more rudimentary and less comfortable than the classic ones, but it began to outline the idea of the bathroom as a room dedicated to personal cleanliness. It is only with the installation of the water tap in the houses during the modern age which made it possible to catch on the bathtub.
Evolution
Since then, the evolution of the tub has ceased to exist, transforming the bathroom into the place of intimacy and well-being inside the house. Modernity has led to the birth and use of the shower, both in stylistic and beauty aesthetics and functionality.
