ROMAN 2010 will be held at the Principe di Piemonte in Viareggio, Italy
The major events of the conference will be held in Principe di Piemonte Congress Center, just by the sea side of Viareggio.The Social Dinner
will take place in Lucca, an historic city nearby Viareggio.
Viareggio is deservedly known as the
“Pearl of the Tyrrhenian”, thanks to its beaches of fine golden sand, marinas,
vast pine woods, and the elegant shops that face onto the long boulevards lined
with palm trees and oleander bushes. The city, which spreads out over the
magnificent coast of Versilia, is circumscribed to the south by the Burlamacca
canal, from which the name of the mask-character representing the Carnival
derives, and to the north by the Abate Trench, which separates Viareggio from
Lido di Camaiore. Its name derives from the “Castrum de via Regia”, a huge
fortress on the seashore that was built in 1172 by the Lucchesi and Genoese, who
were allied against Pisa, in order to defend the coast and surrounding territory.
