> LOCATION OF ICVSS 2010
> ICVSS 2010 will be hosted by Hotel Village Baia Samuele in Punta  
> Sampieri - Scicli (Ragusa), Sicily from 12-17 July 2010. Sicily is  
> one of the most beautiful islands of the Mediterranean. The island  
> is very rich in archeological sites from various Ancient  
> Civilizations. The sea, weather, food and the wine are excellent. In  
> particular Punta Sampieri - Scicli (RG) is located in the south east  
> of Sicily in a late Baroque area called Val di Noto. The Val di Noto  
> area is included in the Unesco World Heritage List and includes  
> eight nearby towns: Caltagirone, Militello Val di Catania, Catania,  
> Modica, Noto, Palazzolo, Ragusa and Scicli. The location of the  
> school rises in the middle of an ample bay delimited on the west  
> from Sampieri and on the east from a cliff, on which is founded an  
> ancient furnace, rare example of industrial archaeology. The Hotel  
> Village "Baia Samuele" stretches in a gentle slant to the beach: 120  
> thousand square meters delimited from rows of secular cypresses. An  
> ultramodern village with an original architecture, pleasant design  
> and all comforts you can imagine. The frame of plants and flowers,  
> typical of this angle of Sicily, in front of the island of Malta,  
> completes this gilded dream of the Mediterranean.
>
> ACCOMMODATION RESERVATION AT HOTEL VILLAGE BAIA SAMUELE
> ICVSS participants must make reservations for accommodation at Hotel  
> Village Baia Samuele (http://www.baiasamuele.it/) at very special
