The workshop will be held in the wonderful cornice of Sestri Levante, near the Portofino and the Cinque Terre District, North West Italian Riviera. The town hosts a unique combination of the old and the new with fisherman's houses nestled alongside hi-tech business settlements, host of the R&D Center of Giunti Labs.

Sestri Levante may be easily reached from Genoa and Pisa as well as Milan, Florence and Nice (France) airports.

Laid down on the thin land strip of an enchanting peninsula, rich with mediterranean vegetation, Sestri Levante shuts in the Gulf of Tigullio arch facing east and offers the most typical expression of the Ligurian landscape. It is also known as “the town of the two seas” as the historical built up area extends as far as a peninsula separating two gulfs: “Baia del Silenzio”, (the Bay of Silence) eastwards, faced by the historical buildings and, facing west, “Baia delle Favole” (the Bay of Fairy tales), so named by Hans Christian Andersen, the famous Danish writer, to whom an annual literary award is dedicated in Sestri during Summer. This historical area is rich with 15th century buildings with their characteristic slate doorways. Besides the Romanesque church of San Nicolò, Sestri offers an important picture-gallery “the Galleria Rizzi” that keeps precious paintings of the 17th and 18th century, and several perfectly preserved villas of the same period.
