The MatER Meeting 2017 is very easy to reach by walk from the Piacenza railway station. 
The Meeting venue is 600m far  from the city's railway station - 8/10 min. on foot. You simply need to exit the station, cross Piazzale Marconi square and walk always straight down to Via dei Mille, which continues to via Tibini and finally to via Neve. You will get to via Scalabrini and you will find the entrance on your right.
 
Piacenza is very close to Milano, approximately 45min - 1hour by train. It is also not far from Bologna, about 1,5 - 2 hours by train.
You can arrange your travel and buy the train tickects directly at the TRENITALIA Official web site.

Reaching the Meeting Venue by car is simple but you need to consider the LTZ (Limited Traffic Zone) of that area. The venue infact is located in the historical center of Piacenza and there is a significant fine for driving into the zone if unauthorized.

"Piacenza is a place of transit like Florence". This is what Leonardo da Vinci wrote at the beginning of the 1500s. A very busy city, a crossroads for people and goods, a place for trade, Piacenza is at the junction of major communication routes: both in the North-South direction linking Milan's metropolitan system and the central Po Valley to the industrial production area of Emilia; and in the East-West direction linking Liguria, Piedmont with Verona, Mantova, Padova and Eastern Europe. 

The strategic importance of its location, the infrastructures available in the area (nationally important road, motorway and railway junction) and the large number of businesses specialised road transport
have made Piacenza's logistics terminal into one of the most important facilities of the kind in Southern Europe.
