12 ICG VENUE
The Italian Chapter of the IGS has selected a truly impressive site for the conference. The Auditorium Parco della Musica is “situated at the heart of a budding cultural quarter in Roma,” write the co-chairs Prof. Nicola Moraci and Eng. Daniele Cazzuffi (Past President of the IGS). “Designed by the iconic Italian architect Renzo Piano … the auditorium is the biggest multifunctional complex in Europe and the second ‘cultural factory’ of the world after the Lincoln Center of New York. Moreover, the auditorium hosts an ancient villa dated 300 BC and a museum making the auditorium a real archaeological site.”
