Saturday, July 8

Morning: 12-20.00 Pick up Registration Packets at Convention Site

(To find the convention site, there will be a Boston College student standing in front of the Basilica of Saint Anthony, with appropriate identification, from 12.00 until 19.00, who will escort you the 5 minute walk to the conference site.

After you pick up your materials, you might want to visit either of the two Basilicas (Santa Giustina is about 10 minutes front Sant'Antonio), the Giotto masterpiece at the Scrovegni chapel (you need to reserve this: http://www.cappelladegliscrovegni.it/ ), or the frescoes of the Duomo's baptistery. Just be sure that you are ready for the opening at 18.00).
