Social event at "Serre Torrigiani Bistrot"

Light dinner at "Serre Torrigiani Bistrot" (followed by a city walk)

For those who wish, we have organized a light dinner on the evening of Thursday 8 at the “Serre Torrigiani Bistrot” located inside the “Giardino Torrigiani” with entrance at Via Gusciana 9 (see map below).

The “Giardino Torrigiani” is the largest private garden in Florence and the “Serre Bistrot” occupies a limited space around the greenhouses (“serre” in Italian) of the garden.

Participation is voluntary and the cost, €40, is not included in the registration fee. More information will be available at the conference registration desk.

After dinner it will be possible to take a walk in the “Oltrarno” district, which includes the lively neighborhoods of Santo Spirito and San Frediano (near Giardino Torrigiani) as well as San Niccolò further east upstream from Ponte Vecchio.

It takes 30-40 minutes to reach the “Serre Bistrot” from the conference venue.
One option is to take the T2 line of the tramway at the “San Donato - University” stop, get off at “Alamanni,” and walk about 20 minutes crossing the Arno at the Vespucci Bridge or the Ponte alla Carraia.
Alternatively, there are various tramway and bus combinations that lead to Porta romana or Piazza Tasso from where you can walk a few minutes to the Bistrot.
