Our Conference Dinner – a highlight at ARES 2017 – will take place in front of the Strait of Messina ( Altafiumara Castle ). Before the gala dinner we will have an excursion to Chianalea and Scilla .Scilla is a stunningly-located fishing village in the Calabria region, in the south of Italy, on the toe of Italy’s boot. A rocky spur topped with an ancient fortress separates two narrow strips of seashore hemmed in by steep hillsides. Scilla is squeezed into this restricted and picturesque landscape and it is an unforgettable sight. Chianalea, nestled into a narrow strip of land to the east of the headland, is an ancient fishermen’s settlement with an atmosphere all of its own.
SERTANGO Quartet
Live music will brighten the night with a concert by SERTANGO Quartet . The quartet (accordion/bandeonon, guitar, piano, voice) proposes a repertoire ranging from classic to pop music, tango and jazz, with special focus on tango.
Meeting point: 16.20 in front of the University, buses leave 16.30 (shortly after the last session)
