Conference Venue

The workshop will be held in Villa Mondragone, an historical Roman villa built in the middle of the XVI century, on the Tuscolani hills.

The villa is located between the townships of Frascati and  Monte Porzio Catone and is owned by the University of Rome Tor Vergata since 1981. It has, through the centuries, been a theatre of important events as well as the residence of popes and famous families. Now the structure is the seat of prestigious conferences coordinated by the Villa Mondragone Congress Center.

Villa Mondragone is located in the center of 18 hectares of parkland.  The Villa, facing Rome, is situated in a panoramic position and covers 80,000 square meters.

 

Villa Mondragone is 1.5  kilometres from the center of Frascati, which offers several accomodations and can be easily reached by train from Rome central station in 30 minutes.
