General information
Our meetingpoint will take place from 07 to 11 May 2025. Here you will find all the important information about your visit.
Where you can find us:
The venue for our meetingpoint is the historic Palazzo Contarini Polignac and its adjoining garden - directly on the Grand Canal. The building, clad in marble throughout, is one of the most important palazzi of the early Venetian Renaissance. The details of the frieze between the water floor and the ‘piano nobile’ are particularly remarkable. Even traces of the original gilding have been preserved.
