Practical information

The conference is located at the Palazzone, a Renaissance building in Cortona. The google-map coordinates of the Palazzone are shown in the right.

How to get there:

By car:

Take the Autostrada A1, the main (and only) highway connecting Rome to Florence, and exit at Valdichiana. Right after the toll gate exit take the E45 freeway (slip road from Siena to Perugia) in the direction of Perugia and then take the second exit for Cortona (Cortona San Lorenzo). You will just need to follow the street signs to arrive to the SS71 road in Camucia and to continue to Cortona.

By train:

There are two train stations, Terontola-Cortona and Camucia-Cortona, both on the railway connecting Florence to Rome. Both stations are connected to Cortona by bus. You can find the bus schedule here (key: F, FT = Monday-Saturday; L* = Monday-Friday; A6 = Saturday; H* = Sunday). The Terontola station is 11 km from Cortona and the Camucia station is 5 km from Cortona. You can also take a taxi from the train station to the Palazzone.
The train schedules can be obtained from the official timetable, or alternatively at the DB, which also covers non-italian train stations.
