PRACTICAL INFORMATION The Conference venue, the refectory of the ex-monastery of S. Stefano degli Agostiniani, is situated in the historic centre of Empoli, within walking distance from the railway station. The railway station of Empoli is on the main lines Florence-Pisa and Florence-Siena, at 30-50 minutes from these centres and with a good link to them. Moreover, Pisa and Florence have got airports with national and international flights. Therefore, we advise to take public transports, as they are fast, practical and environment- friendly. For those travelling by car, Empoli is on the highway Florence-Pisa-.Livorno with three exits; we advise to get off the highway at ‘Empoli centro’. The highway Florence-Pisa-Livorno is linked to the motorway network.
