CONFERENCE EXCURSION AND DINNER
The conference banquet and excursion will be organized for the attendees and their companions on Wednesday April 9th, 2025.
The conference excursion is being organized on Etna volcano: visits to the summit crater are currently suspended for safety reasons. Etna's activity is unstable showing periods with pyroclastic activity alternated with periods without lava coming out of the effusive mouth. The discussion with authorized volcanological guides to evaluate a safe and enjoyable excursion is under way. Therefore, excursion details will be given under the date. After the excursion, a dinner will be organized on a typical Sicilian wine farm.
Post conference tours can be arranged on demand: most of the old city of Catania is included by UNESCO in the World Cultural Heritage list: the “Late Baroque Towns of the Val di Noto (South-Eastern Sicily)”. Moreover, Agrigento has been elected as Italian Capital of Culture 2025 with timeless beauty of the Temples and natural wonder such as “Scala dei Turchi”.
