Useful Information

The Workshop will take place in the Casa Bianca complex, located on the road connecting the villages of Sinalunga and Asciano, in the Chiana valley.  

Group transportation will be arranged from Rome Fiumicino "Leonardo da Vinci" Airport to the workshop site on April 8, departing around 2pm. Participants unable to arrive in the morning of April 8 are encouraged to anticipate their flights to the previous day and to contact the Workshop Secretary, Mrs. Isabella Colace, who can find for them a proper accommodation in Rome. A return bus will leave for Rome Fiumicino "Leonardo da Vinci" Airport early in the morning on Sunday, April 13. 

Casa Bianca has 30 double rooms, in two-room cottages with two independent bathrooms and a common living room with a sleeping couch, and 9 double rooms in the main building. Additional housing can be found, if needed, in nearby villages, but living there will require an independent means of transportation. We may thus be forced to encourage double occupancy if we receive many registrations and end up close to the maximum number of participants.

A tour to interesting sites in the area will be organized for the afternoon of Friday, April 11.  

The (all-included) daily prices are as follows:

• double room, double occupancy: Euro 139.5/day per person (full board)
• double room, single occupancy: Euro 148/day per person (full board)

To reach the Casa Bianca complex by car follow Highway A1 up to the exit n.28, "Valdichiana". In Sinalunga follow directions to Asciano and Casa Bianca. More details can be found using the convenient Michelin page. Asciano or Sinalunga can also be reached by train (Florence - Siena - Chiusi - Rome line), and from there Casa Bianca can be reached by taxi (~15 Euro each way ).
