Scientific Event in Artimino and Rapallo: May 10 to 17, 2026
Optional Extension in Lago Maggiore and Milan: May 17 to 21, 2026
Just twenty kilometers from Florence lies Artimino: a hilltop estate with a hotel, medieval village, apartments, and a grand 16th-century villa surrounded by 180 hectares of olive trees and vineyards. Known for its olive oils and fine Sangiovese and Cabernet wines, this retreat is a perfect gateway to Tuscany. Since our first stay in 2012, we’ve returned often, drawn by its authenticity and breathtaking landscapes. Next May will mark our 7th unforgettable CME program here.
If you love traditional Italian cuisine, antipasti prepared with care, sharing wine with friends, tasting olive oil, and basking under the Tuscan sun, this experience is for you.
We’ll then continue to Rapallo, a seaside town on the Ligurian coast with a vibrant harbor, pastel buildings, and palm-lined promenades. Famous for its castle by the sea, lively cafés, and artisan shops, Rapallo is the ideal base for visiting Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure. Blending history, cuisine, and Mediterranean charm, it promises a delightful escape.
