Dear Colleague,
The Italian Society for Plant Pathology (SIPAV) and the Italian Association for Crop Protection (AIPP) warmly invite you to attend the 9th International Congress of Plant Pathology at Torino, August 24-29, 2008.
The two Societies will guarantee an outstanding Congress Programme as well as an unforgettable experience in Italy. We are sure that you realize how much a trip to Italy is always a "tour artistique". There are so many artistic treasures and of such quality that to describe Italy as an open-air art gallery in its own right is hardly an exaggeration. And then there is its extraordinary natural richness. Torino, the hosting city, is a very elegant and regal city, testifying the age-old heritage and culture of Italy. The geographical position of Torino puts this city at the crossroads of Europe. Torino is easy to reach by plane, car and train. Many daily flights link Torino to the main Italian and European cities, while a very efficient railway and motorway network guarantees fast and easy journeys.
Torino, the 2006 Winter Olympic city, will provide you with totally unexpected emotions together with an outstanding Congress.
