Location
The school is organized at the University Residential Center of Bertinoro - CeUB, situated in Bertinoro, a small village on a scenic hill with a wonderful panorama, in between Forlì and Cesena (about 50 miles south-east of Bologna, 15 miles to the Adriatic sea). The closest airports are Bologna, Forlì, and Rimini.
The lecture room and speakers accommodation are in the fortress (via Frangipane 6). Participants are hosted in the former seminary (via Frangipane 4), which is close to the canteen (via Frangipane 2). Breakfast and lunch as well as the welcome buffet are served in the canteen. Check-in is at the seminary entrance on Sunday and at the fortress in the other days. A permanent housekeeping service works at the fortress.
Bertinoro from Bologna airport:
The international airport "G. Marconi" of Bologna is about 6 km from Bologna central railway station, which is connected through the Marconi Express service. Then, by train, the trip takes 35-50 min from Bologna to Forlì.
The trip from the train station of Forlì to Bertinoro is about 14 km. On the day preceding the beginning of the event (typically, on Sunday afternoon), we organize a shuttle to Bertinoro (logistics information is shared in the weeks before the event). As two alternatives, consider taking a taxi or a bus. The bus station is about 50 mt on the left and is called "Forlì Punto Bus." See here and here for the timetable: the unique direct connection is through line 134, while an indirect connection is via Forlimpopoli (lines 92 + 121). However, these connections are not active on Sunday! From Bertinoro's bus stop, follow the slope to the top of the hill on foot to reach the CeUB. The walk takes approximately 10 minutes.
During the summertime, flight options are also available at Rimini and Forlì local airports.
Bertinoro is close to many splendid locations (such as Rimini, Ravenna, and the Republic of San Marino). Enjoy your stay!
