Venue.
Cernobbio can be easily reached from one of the three Milan airports:
Malpensa (strongly reccommended), Linate and Orio al Serio.
Free buses will be available on May 30 and May 31 from the three airports to
the Conference hotels.
Check on the website the timetable.
Cernobbio is a cosy, quiet and friendly village.  The conference is taking
place at the very beginning of summer, not too warm, but sunny days are
expected. Hopefully this is the best period in the year.
On our website (venue - visit Como) you can find a brochure where you can
find an overview of the naturalistic and touristic aspects of the
surroundings.
Mizar can assist you in programming your pre- or after conference trips in
the surroundings ([log in to unmask]).

An evening of traditional Italian food, music, and dancing will be held in
the fascinating Villa Geno, just in front of the lake.
