October 6th
Gala Dinner with entertainment at Palazzo borghese
The Banquet will take place at Palazzo Borghese, re-structured in XV century, placed at the heart of Florence. Palazzo Borghese is one of the most exemplary buildings of neoclassical architecture in the Tuscan main city, specifically in the historic center of Florence. In fact, the ancient building is located just a stone’s throw from both Piazza del Duomo and Piazza della Signoria. After a Welcome cocktail, dinner will be served at the “Galleria Monumentale”, an architectural and artistic gem of two hundred square meters of paintings, stuccoes, bas-reliefs, niches, statues, columns, and draperies.
