VENUE
The main conference will take place in Genova Nervi, Italy, in the
Collegio Emiliani (http://www.collegioemiliani.it/, information
available only in Italian on this link), which is a college directly
situated on the sea. Nervi is a former fishing village, now a suburb of
Genoa. Nervi is 7 km east of central Genova. Genova is the capital of
Liguria, stretching along the bay of the same name from Nervi to the
east as far as Voltri to the west. The pride of Nervi is the sea
promenade, a 2 km walkway along the cliffs. The stunning views make it
one of Italy's most beautiful promenades. Nervi is also well known for
its Parchi, a park of about 22 acres (9 hectares) created from the
gardens of the Villa Grimaldi, Villa Groppallo, and Villa Serra. It has
typical Mediterranean plant species and many exotic species. Genova's
old town district (reachable by local train, by bus, as well as by boat)
is one of the largest in Europe, and hosts some remarkable artistic and
architectural treasures, including the Palazzi dei Rolli, fifty or so
homes of the aristocracy entered on the UNESCO World Heritage List. In
addition to offering a wealth of cultural attractions, Genova is a
fascinating destination for tourists, with its scenic vantage points,
sea promenades, aristocratic villas and of course the Riviera to the
east and west, both easy to reach: Portovenere and Le Cinque Terre (also
UNESCO World Heritage Sites), Portofino and Camogli to the east and
Alassio, Sanremo, Bordighera to the west.
Associated events (workshops) are planned to be held at the University,
which is in the city center of Genova.
Of course, we will continuously monitor the pandemic situation in order
to evaluate whether the conference can be indeed held as an in-person
event, or we will need to switch to a hybrid event, if not completely
on-line.
