VIDEOS
In order to help you at your arrival in Venice, our students have prepared three short videos. The first one can give you an idea of the two arrival points in Venice: S. Lucia Railway Station (if you arrive by train) and Piazzale Roma (if you arrive by bus or taxi from the airport); the second video shows the direction to take if your accommodation is nearby (Casa S. Andrea and Casa Caburlotto); the third video shows you how to get to Ca’ Foscari and Ca’ Dolfin (the two conference venues) from Campo S. Barnaba (a place where participants from Alboretti, Leone XIII and Istituto Canossiano S. Trovaso will pass through). The videos are not supposed to be complete guides, but just a little help.
