Climbing any architectural or natural feature (walls, gates, trees, etc.) of the gardens is prohibited. Fountains are also off-limits. After sundown, please stay on the lit paths.
To help keep the entire site clean and orderly, dispose of trash in the appropriate containers and recycle whenever possible.
Smoking is prohibited indoors but permitted outdoors in designated areas only. Please use the ashtrays provided.
Campus Sports Field

The field is equipped for soccer, tennis, volleyball and basketball. The boundary lines on the field are regulated for tennis and five-a-side soccer. There are no boundary lines for volleyball or basketball, and the basketball hoops are not spaced at the regulation distance. Sports equipment may be signed out at the Villa Natalia reception by filling out a form. Students are responsible for bringing back everything they sign out.
A few guidelines apply to the use of the field:
Anyone using the field must wear appropriate footwear (no cleats or high heels permitted, as these could damage the turf).

Trash must be disposed of in the receptacles provided.
No personal items or sports equipment should be left at the field.
Students using the net are responsible for storing it in the appropriate storage container when finished.
Chairs, benches, and other furnishings are prohibited in the field perimeter.
Any issues with the turf, nets, or equipment should be reported to the Facilities Office or security staff immediately.
Students may use the sports field at their own risk. In case of injury, students should contact the Office of Student Life at +39-055-5007450 (after hours follow the prompts to reach the staff member on call)
