Venue

Grand Hotel San Michele - Cetraro (CS), Italy

NanoPlasm 2024 will be held in the 4-star "Grand Hotel San Michele" at Cetraro, Italy, from 17th to 21st of June 2024. Cetraro is an ancient sea hamlet with a millennium-old history located along the Tyrrhenian coastal track, known as the Riviera dei Cedri. The town which is known for its fishing and touristic harbor is the ideal place for a lunch with fish: here the typical speciality is the rosamarina (a newborn bluefish), exquisite delicacy longed for by tourists that come numerous to Cetraro, especially in the summer. The Hotel is located high on a 120 m cliff overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. On a clear day you may see the Eolian islands. Situated just outside the township of Cetraro, the hotel is surrounded by an organic farm of 44 hectares that everyday provides the hotel with fresh organic food: fruits, vegetables, olive oil, wine, milk and cheese, daily laid eggs, lamb, veal and pork meat, home made jams and preserves. The golf course (9 holes, par 70), nicely landscaped among vineyards, olive groves and fruit trees, is provided with driving range, putting green and Club House. Inside, the hotel offers two restaurants and a breakfast room, while in nice weather one may enjoy breakfast and dinner on the two beautiful terraces overlooking the sea.

The cultural event this year concerns the visit to the historic part of the city of Cosenza. In particular, we will walk in Piazza XV Marzo, with in the center the statue depicting the philosopher Bernardinio Telesio, born in Cosenza in 1509.

We will admire the A. Rendano Municipal Theater from the outside. We will enter the "Government Palace", located right in front of the theater, to appreciate the famous "Room of Mirrors".

The itinerary will culminate in a visit to the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, dating back to around 1200 AC.

The cultural event will end with a social dinner at "Villa A. Rendano", where we will taste typical dishes of the Calabrian tradition and listen good jazz music.
