TRAVEL AND CONFERENCE VENUE INFORMATION
G. d’ Annunzio University of Chieti-Pescara is located in Abruzzo, Central Italy. One part of the campus is in Chieti on the Abruzzo hills. The other part, which will be the main venue of the conference, is in Pescara. The Pescara campus, which is near the city center, is very close to the Adriatic coast and the pinewood celebrated by poet Gabriele D’Annunzio in his verse.
Pescara is the biggest city in the region of Abruzzo, and it boasts a vibrant cultural life, with an important jazz festival (Pescara Jazz Festival), a national literary festival (Festival delle Letterature dell'Adriatico), and an international film festival and competition (Flaiano Film Festival and International Awards).
The city has a small airport with direct connections to London Stansted, which might be a useful option for those of you travelling from the UK (Ryanair flight). There are also some Ryanair flights from other European cities).
Anyone planning to travel from British and Continental cities can consider taking a flight to Rome and then take a bus to Pescara (we advise against travelling by train, since the connections are complicated and it takes longer than the bus).
