Italy

Italy has always been a oasis of knowledge. An ideal place for conferences and incentives where experiences can be exchanged and influences intersected. The options for venues are so numerous as to be quite unique the world over. In addition to the traditional convention centers and big hotels with congress facilities, one can choose from a wide range of old palaces, castles, historic residences, resorts, magnificent villas and country seats, often set in parks in the Italian style with fountains, lakes and plenty of vegetation, carefully chosen and well tended.

Italy is an inextricable fabric of landscape and architecture, works of art and traditions which distinguish it from other countries and make it the ideal place for conventions, work and pleasure in all seasons.
