at the
Graduate College of Santa Chiara
(Via Valdimontone, 1)

This former monastic building is located in the historic centre of Siena, close to the central piazza (Il Campo).

Participants should arrive on Thursday September 23rd, 2010. The academic programme will start in the middle of the afternoon on Thursday and is scheduled to end around midday on Saturday September 25th, 2010.

For participants arriving by plane, there are regular trains to Siena from Rome, Florence and Pisa.
