Location
The school will take place at Castello di Gargonza, a medieval village and historic residence in the world-famous Tuscany countryside. The 13th century fortified hamlet is surrounded by more than 600 hectares of forest, olive groves and vineyards and overlooks the Val di Chiana. It is the perfect place for summer schools and conferences, as all the facilities are offered in the same place.
Gargonza is also the ideal destination to discover Tuscany. It is located 100 km south-est of Florence between the beautiful cities of Siena and Arezzo. Local information will be provided to participants in due course.
