  If you come from one of the Union Européenne (U.E.) countries, you do not need to keep the passport with you, but a simple valid identity card will be sufficient.

  If you come from another not U.E. country you surely have to keep the passport with you. Because each country has its rules for entering in Italy, we suggest you to contact our Italian consulate or embassy in your country, in order to know what you have to do to come in Italy. This is a not exhaustive list of Embassies. Italy is part of Schengen agreement as country founder. This give more difficulties to obtain Visa. If you require a Schengen Visa you need to apply it before travelling.

  In case of extreme and insuperable difficulty we can try to help you from here .... Please contact Dr. yyyy. yyyyy by e-mail.

  The national language of Italy is Italian. However, many people speak English and someone speaks German, French and Spanish too.

Exchange offices and ATM machines are easily available throughout the town and in the main train stations and in the airports.

  Banks in Italy operate with different opening times. Most of them are opened from Monday to Friday, from 8:30 to 16:00, while they are closed on Saturday and on Sunday. Money changes and movements are made at the Post office too.

  But a negative aspect of the Italian life is represented by thieves who used to steal money from tourists. So you have to pay more attention on the underground lines, bus lines or similar. Furthermore, because you are a tourist, some dealer can ask more Euro than those you have really to pay.

  Many television channels have presented some transmission (Report, Le Iene, Striscia la notizia, etc.) on the taxi drivers and their excessive costs .... So, be careful with these prices. Ask before, change taxi company and if necessary call the police.

  In case of emergency in the meeting area, you can directly contact the CMA4CH staff or the hotel staff. Outside the meeting centre you have to call 113 (police) or 112 (carabinieri) for any emergency.

  Come out from train at two main Rome station, or from the Ciampino or Fiumicino airport, to find the bus, to reach the hotels is quite secure.

  Unfortunately, one of the components of our Committee find a pickpockets in Rome underground some days ago, so we recall your attention when you come from airports or railway station and go at the bus stop, or use the underground.

  There are a lot of banks and Post Office near the Meeting so we suggest the use of a credit card not chash.
