VENUE

To have seen Italy without having seen Sicily is not to have seen Italy at all, for Sicily is the clue to everything.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, 1787

The SIDISA International Conference this year is set in the vibrant and historic city of Palermo, the capital of Sicily and a treasure trove of history, culture, and culinary delights. This vibrant city, nestled on the edge of the Mediterranean, offers a unique blend of architectural styles, a testament to the various civilizations that have called it home. From the ancient Phoenicians to the Normans, Arabs, and Spanish, each era has contributed to the rich tapestry that defines Palermo today.

Scheduled from October 1st to the 4th, the conference promises a blend of academic excellence, cultural exploration, and networking opportunities in some of Palermo’s most iconic venues. Each chosen location not only serves as a magnificent setting for our gatherings but also embodies the rich tapestry of Sicilian history and culture.

This year’s conference in Palermo is set to be an enriching experience, combining the pursuit of knowledge with the pleasure of discovering Sicily’s cultural heritage. We look forward to welcoming our participants to what promises to be a memorable event.

Conference Venue

The Conference will be held within the University of Palermo Campus in the modern building 19 for the parallel sessions and building 7 for the plenary sessions. Participants will join parallel sessions and sponsor exhibitions during the conference.

How to Reach Palermo

By Bus: The Prestia e Comandè bus service connects the airport with Palermo Centrale and other key stops in the city. The journey takes about 50 minutes to Palermo Centrale, with buses running every half hour from early morning (5:00 am) to late night (00:30 am). Tickets are slightly cheaper if purchased online, costing €6.00 for a single trip and €10.00 for a return ticket. Prices are slightly higher if purchased on the bus​.

By Train: The airport also offers a train service to Palermo Centrale, with a journey time of approximately 50 minutes. The train runs twice an hour from early morning (5:30 am) to late evening (10:10 pm). A single ticket costs about €6-€6.50​

By Taxi: Taxis are available, offering a more convenient but pricier option. The average fare for a taxi ride from the airport to Palermo city centre is around €45.00, as regulated by the government. For a luxury option, Uber Black is available in Palermo, though it is considered a more expensive choice​.

​​Car: If you’re driving, the airport is about 35 kilometers from the city centre. You can use the A29 highway for a trip that takes around 25 minutes, depending on traffic. This option offers flexibility but requires navigating through Sicily’s roadways​.
