The conference venue is located in the so-called “Città Alta” (Upper Town)
which represents the old part of the city surrounded by Venetian Walls,
built by the Serenissima Republic of Venice in the second half of the 16th
century to defend the city and now included in the Unesco World Heritage
tentative list.

Bergamo, with its 5 km-long Venetian Walls, its funicular connecting the
modern centre with city medieval heart, its historic sites and museum, its
food and wine tradition, is an Italian masterpiece, which deserves to be
visited at least once in a lifetime. Discover the wonders of Bergamo on
