LOGISTICAL INDICATIONS
The press is invited to report to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (rear entrance, via Macchia della Farnesina) for the planned security checks.
A shuttle service will then depart from the Farnesina to Palazzo Borromeo and back.
Journalists, photographers and video operators who go to the event by their own means, even if previously accredited, will not be allowed to enter Palazzo Borromeo without having carried out security checks at the Farnesina and will, therefore, be accompanied by a shuttle service on-site.
