Italian Evening

Friday, April 29, 2011, 18:00 – approx. 23:30
Location: Villa "La Valera di Arese".

For the Italian Evening, we will take you to „La Valera in Arese“, a noble mid-18th century villa surrounded by a lovely park, and a typical example of Lombard architecture. Just 20 minutes’ drive by bus from Milan, it provides the ideal setting for the festive event we have in mind.
Upon arriving, you will be treated to a welcome cocktail and tasty antipasti. Then, explore the spacious rooms filled with antiques, or take a stroll of the garden, which boasts extensive lawns bordered by box trees and Ticino gravel, a fountain that creates special water effects, and antique vases filled with citrus trees. After a busy congress day, the fresh air will do you good!

Dinner will be served at the ancient „Lemon House“, once the shelter for lemon plants during winter, now a bright dining-hall with numerous windows facing south.

Apart from enjoying the many culinary pleasures Italy is rightly famous for, local musicians will perform for your entertainment. And so the day will pass into evening, offering you a chance to catch up with old friends, and make new ones.

Afterwards, you will be taken back by bus to Milan.
