Conference Location
Genova
Overlooking the Ligurian Sea, it was the capital of one of the Maritime Republics from 1099 to 1797, becoming one of the greatest naval powers on the continent. Even today it remains a major economic hub and a prominent center for universities, science, culture, music, and the arts, boasting a historic center that unfolds through the enchanting caruggi, the narrow alleyways lined by the tall outer walls of the houses.
Its palaces, villas, parks, and fortifications tell the story of the charm of the ancient Maritime Republic.
Capital of the delicious pesto and fine cuisine, it is home to numerous industrial activities as well as some of the country’s most important tourist and trade fair events.
The port is among the leading hubs in the Mediterranean and Europe.
