Concert at the Caracalla Baths

The evocative scene of the Caracalla Baths will be the setting of this spectacular concert. A soprano, a tenor and a baritone, accompanied by pianoforte, will sing for your delight some of the most beautiful pieces from Italian Opera in a place of incomparable beauty.



Conference Banquet

A stop in the "Santa Barbara" stables, a past setting for the World Riding Championships, opens your evening of games, snacks and... surprises.
The conference banquet will be held in the Odescalchi castle of Bracciano.

A chance to sample the delights of the local cuisine together with contemporary entertainment in a medieval castle guarantees an evening to remember.
