Place of the event

Arsenale di Venezia

The AIVP’s annual conference will take place in a very special place: the historic Arsenale in Venice. The Arsenale, located in the Castello district, was one of Italy’s largest shipyards from the Middle Ages to the early Modern Age. In its heyday, up to 16,000 workers worked there daily to build the fleets of the Serenissima. This place is the emblematic symbol of the city’s economic, political and military power, and lends itself perfectly as the venue for the event. In addition, our participants will have exclusive access to areas not normally open to the public.

To join the Arsenal:

  • 10 minutes’ walk from Piazza San Marco.
  • By vaporetto, getting off at the Arsenale stop. If you plan to use the vaporetto regularly, there is a Vaporetto Pass which gives you unlimited use of this means of transport.
