Dear ASPHER Conference participant:
It is almost time for you to travel and we have additional
information before your departure.
·
At present the weather n Caltanissetta is summer like, with sunny
blue skies and comfortable temperature ranging from 22°C to 24°C
daily. Since we are at about 700 metres above sea level, the range
can go down considerable during the evening. In fact, at night,
temperature currently ranges from 15°C to 17°C. Though
meteorologists do not always hit the mark, they foresee no
substantial changes for the following days. We advice you therefore
to take a light jacket for the evenings and check the internet site
for the temperature updates.

As you
already know, the Conference gala dinner will be held in the
mysterious Arabic-Norman castle in the town of Mussomeli. I was
there a few days ago and have taken some photographs of the Castle
and its attendees that you can find on the Conference web pages
under CASTLE. I have done this in order to impress on you the
condition of the road that brings to where we will take our meals
and so that you can understand my concern about you bringing
comfortable shoes. Women are advised not o wear high hills and it is
important to bring a jacket or a shawl, just in case.
As the Castle will be
entirely ours for that evening, you should concentrate on
discovering its beauty and disclosing its mysteries and, obviously,
enjoying the whole thing. We will try to assist you in achieving
just that.
·
A word
about currency. It is obviously best for you to take Euros. However,
it is possible to change dollars or pounds in Caltanissetta. For
other currencies, please make sure you change it before departure
from your Country or do it on arrival at the main airports, like
Rome or Milan, as you probably will be transiting through one of
these before reaching Catania.
We are at your complete disposal for any additional specific
questions you may have on any issue relating to the Conference and
to its logistics.
Yours cordially,
Dr. Pina Frazzica,
Director General
