THE EVENINGS
Wednesday, 28 September: Welcome Networking Reception – B-Roof Grand Hotel Baglioni
All the flavor of Florence. On the fifth floor of the Grand Hotel Baglioni, the B-Roof restaurant is a special place where you can enjoy haute cuisine while admiring a spectacular panoramic view of the florentine skyline. From here you will almost be able to touch Brunelleschi's Dome and Giotto's Tower while tasting traditional dishes, characterized by colours, flavours and aromas reinvented by our expert chefs.
Open buffet from 19.30 to 21.30
Thursday, 29 September: Get-together Networking Reception – Restaurant La Loggia
Since 1867, the La Loggia restaurant has been the reference point for those who want to appreciate excellent cuisine while admiring the best views of the entire city. From the top of Piazzale Michelangelo, in fact, Florence offers itself in all its beauty: from the ancient Roman walls to Fiesole, the glance is breath-taking and contains all the monuments of the cradle of the Renaissance.
Bus shuttle service from Grand Hotel Baglioni at 19:45 hours.
Friday, 30 September: Closing Celebration – Palazzo Borghese
Located in the middle of the historic centre of Florence, very close to the Duomo, Santa Croce Square and Signoria Square, Palazzo Borghese is one of the most striking examples of neoclassic architecture of the Tuscan capital.
Once inside, however, the beauty and the pomp are dazzling: the imposing honour staircase leads to the noble floor. The heart of the building is formed by the Mirror Room and the Monumental Gallery (or Reception Hall), which is a true architectural and artistic jewel. The gallery of two hundred square meters of frescoes, plasters, bas-reliefs, niches, statues, columns and draperies represents the classic idea of renaissance.
Today Palazzo Borghese remains one of the most remarkable buildings in the city.
