Informazioni Generali

The workshop will be held at the Auditorium S. Margherita, next to Campo S. Margherita. The bulding is very close (i.e., 10-15 minutes walking) to the two access points of Venice: P.le Roma and the train station (Stazione F.S. Venezia S. Lucia). Look at the "Workshop" sign in the map.   Auditorium Santa Margherita Dorsoduro, 3689 Tel. 041 5212765 Fax 041 5212770

Other relevant locations

Fondazione Levi and Domus Cavanis are near Ponte dell'Accademia (they are indicated as F and D, resp., in the map). You can reach them by feet in 10-15 minutes from the railways station (S.Lucia) or from Piazzale Roma. If you are carrying your luggages you might prefer to go by Vaporetto, number 1 or 82, stopping at Accademia.

The social dinner will be at Trattoria dalla Zanze, S. Croce 231 (Indicated as Z in the map).

Getting to Venice

By plane. Venice is easily reachable via an international airport (Marco Polo airport). There are many ways of getting from the airport to the center of Venice, with different features and at least two orders of magnitude in the price. They are listed below by increasing cost.

• Public bus (ACTV n. 5) from the airport to Venice (P.le Roma). It runs every 30 minutes, costs € 0,77, and takes about 30-35 minutes.
  
  
• Direct bus (ATVO) from the airport to Venice (P.le Roma). It runs every 20 minutes, costs € 2,70, and takes about 20-25 minutes.
  
  
• Motorboat (ALILAGUNA) from the airport to Venice (either P.za S. Marco or P.le Roma). It runs every hour, costs € 9,81, and takes about 1 hour.
  
  
• Taxi from the airport to Venice (P.le Roma). Most frequent, expensive and fastest: it can cost more than 30 €.
  
  
• Water Taxi from the airport to almost any place in Venice. Definetely the most expensive: it can easily cost over 75 €. It is always essential to agree on a water-taxi fare before boarding.

By train. Venice has rail connections with every major city in Italy and the rest of Europe. The main train station (Stazione F.S. Venezia S. Lucia) is on the Grand Canal in the northwest corner of the city. Some through trains do not terminate at Santa Lucia, stopping only at the Venezia-Mestre Station on the mainland. All trains traveling to and from Santa Lucia stop at Mestre, so to get from Venezia-Mestre to Santa Lucia, or vice versa (a 10-minute trip), take the first available train, remembering there is a supplemento (extra charge) for traveling on Intercity and Eurocity trains, and that if you do not pay it before boarding, you are liable for a fine. You can also check the European train schedule in case you are arriving by train from Europe or the Italian train schedule if you are getting to Venice from another Italian city.

By car. If you bring a car to Venice, you will have to pay for a garage or parking space during your stay. Parking at Piazzale Roma (in the Autorimessa Comunale run by the city) costs between 8 € and 13 €, and at the private Garage San Marco (next door) between 15 € and 23 € per 24 hours, depending on the size of the car. To reach the privately run Tronchetto parking area, follow the signs to turn right before Piazzale Roma. Warning: Do not be waylaid by illegal touts--often wearing fake uniforms--who may try to flag you down and offer to arrange parking and hotels, but continue on until you reach the automatic ticket machines. Parking here costs around 18 € per 24 hours under cover and slightly less outside. (Do not leave valuables in the car. There is a left-luggage office, open daily 8 AM-8 PM, next to the Pullman Bar on the ground floor of the municipal garage at Piazzale Roma.) Another solution would be to park in a private parking in front of Mestre railway station (5 € for 24 hours) and use either the train or the bus to reach Venice.
