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. 

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 house-keeping service works at the fortress.

Bertinoro from Bologna airport:

The international airport "G. Marconi" of Bologna is about 6 Km far from Bologna central railway station, to which is connected through the Marconi Express service. Then, by train the trip takes 35-50 min from Bologna to Forlì.

From the train station of Forlì it is possible to take either a taxi (Bertinoro is about 13 km far and the fare should be about 35 euro) or a bus from the near bus station, which is called "Forlì Punto Bus" and is about 50 mt on the left (direct trips from Forlì to Bertinoro are not frequent, especially on Sunday, for more options check connections through Forlimpopoli). From the bus stop of Bertinoro, follow on foot the slope to the top of the hill to reach the CeUB. The walk takes approx. 10 min.

Bertinoro is close to many splendid locations (such as Rimini, Ravenna, and the Republic of San Marino). Enjoy your stay!

Hiking in Bertinoro

A well-marked nature trail will introduce you to the hills around Bertinoro and Fratta Terme, passing through vineyards, sunflower and wheat fields, and orchards. The trail is 9 kilometers long and with an elevation gain of almost 400 meters, and requires from two and a half to three hours of walking. Ask Alessandro for details or the GPX track.
