RAVELLO

At the end of the Conference we plan to make a "field trip" down to Ravello, the village of the Amalfi Coast (South of Naples), where, starting next year, we’ll have the annual Conference and the Summer School on the Economics of Biotechnology.
Ravello is a village perched on a 350 feet high cliff overlooking the blue sea of the Amalfi Coast. It has conserved its historical monuments through the ages in a natural setting which has few equals in the world. The most important monuments are the Cathedral, founded in 1086, Villa Rufolo, i.e. the garden where Richard Wagner found its magical garden of Klingsor for the second act of Parsifal, Villa Cimbrone, which is the other garden of Ravello, famous for its breathtaking belvedere and several other monuments and villas. Ravello is also located near Positano and Amalfi, two of the most well-known Italian summer resorts.
The trip will start on Saturday afternoon, June 19, and we plan to come back to Rome Monday night, the 21^st. On the way back to Rome we will stop to visit the ruins of old Pompei.
We will leave from the campus by bus and the journey should take approximately 3 hours.
If you are interested you should notify us at the time you register to the Conference. We will not be able to assure participation to the field trip to people who will register late.
