This is a rare opportunity to visit the Italian 'White House', the palace of the President of the Republic. The Quirinale Palace, built in 1538, plays an important role in Italian history. During Renaissance times, it was the palace for various Popes. In the 1800s it became the residence of the Italian Royal Family.

Today, it serves as the seat of the President of the Republic, the official head of state of Italy.

President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi has graciously invited a limited number of delegates to take a guided tour of this architectural masterpiece.

This tour is limited to 60 delegates and registration is on a first-come first-served basis. Tour is subject to cancellation should minimum numbers not be met.
