The Conference Room (Classroom 1, ground floor) is sited on the ground floor of the Department building, which is informally called "ex-Caserma Zucchi", via Allegri 9 (from the hotel Mercure-Astoria you just have to cross the city gardens); once you pass the Dept's gate, just get in the building from the entrance on the right side and then you will immediately see the room on your left (if you are not too Wittgensteinianly recalcitrant pupils, some arrows should clearly indicate where the room is). For any further doubt, look at the maps, respectively centered on the Department and on the Hotel Mercure-Astoria.
