Location

The Symposium will be held in Pisa, Italy. Pisa is a lovely city located not far from Florence (1 hour by train) in the north of Tuscany, one of the most wonderful regions of Italy. Its international airport is well connected to the main European cities. The Miracles' Square with the Dome, the Baptister and the world-wide well known Leaning Tower represent the most unique and original complex of the Tuscan Romanesque architecture. But many other attractions deserve some attention from the tourists such as the sculptures and the paintings of the local Thirteenth and Fourteenth century stored in the St. Matthew National Museum, the ancient city, and many wonderful churches. Pisa is also a convenient location for exploring Tuscany hills, wine yards, and its beautiful cities, such as Florence, Siena, S. Gimignano, Lucca, Volterra, etc. It offers also the possibility to reach most of the touristic attractions of Italy (Rome, Venice) by train (about 4 hrs.). The climate in late September is normally very pleasant in Pisa.
