Roy de Vita Stefano Pompei

Dear Friends,

Restoration of breast shape and morphology has been integrated in the breast cancer treatment regimens since many decades.

Since breast reconstruction is considered to be an important therapeutic intervention as radiother-apy, chemotherapy, and tumor excision therapy the evolution of this fi eld was inevitable.

The continuous improvement of breast reconstruction guidelines and surgical techniques, as well as the increasing availability of diff erent types of implants and biological or synthetic aids, justifi ably resulted in various combinations of instructions and opinions on Breast Reconstruction.

There is, however, a shared consensus: The “multidisciplinary approach” ensures the best results in breast cancer treatment as well as breast reconstruction.

A successful breast reconstruction includes, of course, the aesthetic result, and the parameters of an aesthetically appealing breast remain the same as in Cosmetic Surgery.

We believe the benefi t of knowledge sharing is tremendous and therefore International Opinion Leaders in the fi eld of “Senology” are gathered in this meeting to present their experience and re-search results.

This Symposium includes not only presentations but also constructive discussions and videoconfer-ences from experts around the globe about indications, results and complications.

Attention is equally given to reconstructive as well as aesthetic breast surgery since the two fi elds are interdependent. Opinion-leaders will participate in special “boxe-ring” sessions that will consist in debates and critical discussion of crucial topics.

We would like to welcome you here and we hope you enjoy the conference as much as you enjoy Rome in June.

VISIT ROME

Ancient Capital of the Roman Empire, seat of Catholic Cristianity and cradle of Western Civilization, the city of Rome bears witness to nearly three millennia of history. Its historic centre, a UNESCO world heritage site, is rich in vistas of rare beauty and priceless artistic treasures.

There’s more to see here than in any other city in the world, with the relics of over two thousand years of inhabitation packed into its sprawling urban area. You could spend a month here and still only scratch the surface

There are of course the city’s classical features, most visibly the Colosseum, and the Forum and Pala-tine Hill; but from here there’s an almost uninterrupted sequence of monuments - from early Chris-tian basilicas, Romanesque churches, Renaissance palaces, right up to the fountains and churches of the Baroque period, which perhaps more than any other era has determined the look of the city today.

There is the modern epoch too, from the ponderous Neoclassical architecture of the post-Unifica-tion period to the self-publicizing edifices of the Mussolini years.

MAIN ATTRACTIONS

Capitoline HillCapitoline Hill was the original Capitol of the ancient city and continues to serve as the seat of the city’s govern-ment.

The main feature of the area is Michelangelo’s Piazza del Campidoglio, a testimony to the superiority of Renais-sance town planning.

The piazza is bordered by three palaces: the Palazzo dei Conservatori and the twin structures of the Palazzo dei Senatori and Palazzo Nuovo which house the Musei Capi-

tolini, containing the largest collection of classical statues in the world.

Among the notable statues found here are the Dying Gaul and the Satyr, the Capitoline Wolf with Romulus and Remus and the Spinario.

Paths cut along the side of the hill from the Campidoglio giving way to panoramic views of the an-cient sites of the Forum and Colosseum.

Address: Piazza del Campidoglio; Telephone: 060608 Opening time: Museums open Tuesday to Sunday 9am to 8pm; Admission: €6.50

31

Roman Forum (Foro Romano)The site of ancient Rome’s commercial, political and reli-gious centre retires in the valley between the Capitoline and Palatine hills.

The Forum’s main thorough fare, Via Sacra, slices through the old market square and former civic centre.

To make sense of the ruins and relics of the old Republic it is helpful to consult a map of the area.

Some of the best preserved and most notable monuments include the impressive Arch of Septimus Severus - a construction designed to celebrate Roman vic-tory over the Parthinians - and the former atrium of the House of the Vestal Virgins and Temple of Vesta.

Also of note are the Temple of Antoninus and Faustina, and the Arch of Titus, built to celebrate Titus’ destruction of Jerusalem in AD70.

To the right of the arch are stairs snaking up the Palatine hill through a series of terraces to the Farnese gardens. The scented avenue festooned with roses and orange trees gives way to a vista over the Forum.

Address: Via dei Fori Imperiali; Telephone: 06 3996 7700; Opening time: Daily 8.30am to 1 hour before sunset Admission: €9.00 + pre booking fee €1,50 : Ticket lasts 2 days

The ColosseumThis enduring symbol of ancient Rome tenaciously clings to its foundations as the site of former gladiatorial con-quests. Its architecture boasts an impressive array of Doric, Ionic and Corinthian columns and an underground net-work of cells, corridors, ramps and elevators that were used to transport animals from their cages to the arena.

The magnificence of the original structure has been erod-ed through the years of pillaging and earthquakes so that only a skeletal framework remains.

Address: Piazza del Colosseo; Telephone 06.39967700; Opening time: Daily 8.30am to 1 hour before sunset Admission: €9.00 + pre booking fee €1,50 : Ticket is valid for Colosseum and lasts 2 days

PantheonThe stately Pantheon is one of the world’s most inspiring architectural designs.

Fittingly built as a temple to the Gods by Hadrian in 120AD, its perfectly proportioned floating dome rests seductively on sturdy marble columns.

The only light source flowing through the central oculus was used by the Romans to measure time (with the aid of a sundial) and the dates of equinoxes and solstices.

The south transept houses the Carafa Chapel and the tomb of Fra Angelico rests under the left side of the altar.

About 125 years ago, Raphael’s tomb was discovered here (fans still bring him flowers).

Vittorio Emanuele II, king of Italy, and his successor, Umberto I, are interred here as well.

Address: Piazza della Rotonda; Telephone: 06 6830 0230; Opening time: Monday to Saturday between 8.30am and 7.30pm and Sunday from 9am to 6pm; Admission: Free

The Spanish Steps and Piazza di SpagnaThe graceful steps built in 1725, elegantly curve their way from the Piazza di Spagna to the Church of Santa Trinità dei Monti, a pastel tinted neoclassical building.

The steps and the square take their names from the Span-ish Embassy, which used to be headquartered here

The shopper’s paradise of Via Condotti leads back from the Spanish steps to Via del Corso, and during spring the steps are decorated with pink azaleas.

At the foot of the steps lies Bernini’s boat-shaped Barcaccia fountain and to the right is Keats-Shelley Memorial House.

The steps and the piazza below are always packed with a crowd: strolling, reading in the sun, brows-ing the vendors’ carts, and people-watching.

Address: Piazza di Spagna Opening time: Shops are usually opened Monday to Saturday between 10:00am and 7.30pm and Sunday from 10:30am to 7:30pm;

Trevi Fountain (Fontana di Trevi)The tiny Piazza di Trevi has been immortalised through this fountain built for Pope Clement XII.

Today this newly restored gem is a must on everybody’s itinerary.

Supplied by water from the Acqua Vergine aqueduct and a triumph of the baroque style, it was based on the design of Nicolo Salvi and was completed in 1762.

The design centers on the triumphant figure of Neptunus Rex, standing on a shell chariot drawn by winged steeds and led by a pair of tritons.

Two allegorical figures in the side niches represent good health and fertility.

Tossing a coin into the fountain is supposed to guarantee a return trip to Rome

Address: Piazza di Trevi Opening time Always opened with the exception of Mondays when they clean the fountain

St Peter’s Basilica (Basilica di San Pietro)The Basilica lies above the reputed site of St. Peter’s tomb.

It is an overwhelming interior containing notable sculp-tures including Michelangelo’s Pieta, which is protected by bullet-proof glass since the damaging attack on it in 1972.

In the central aisle stands Arnolfo da Cambio’s bronze stat-ue of St Peter, its foot worn down by the constant flow of pilgrims’ kisses.

Proudly resting above the papal altar is Bernini’s Throne of St Peter.

The Vatican Grottoes, containing papal tombs, can be reached by steps from the statue of St Long-inus. The Necropolis is located one level below the grottoes. This is the legendary site of St Peter’s tomb and advance permission has to be obtained to view it.

Address: Piazza San Pietro; Telephone: 06 6988 4466; Opening time: Daily between 7am and 7pm (April to September) and 7:00am to 6:00pm (October to March); Admission: Free

The Sistine Chapel & Vatican MuseumsThe Sistine Chapel’s famous ceiling painted by Michelan-gelo looms above the frescoes on the side walls that were painted by an illustrious team of artists that included Bot-ticelli, Ghirlandaio, Roselli, Pinturicchio, Signorelli and della Gatta.

The altar wall is covered by Michelangelo’s Last Supper, revealing the figure of Christ hovering above centre and flanked by Mary and other saintly figures.

The Vatican Museums provide an inspiring visit to one of the world’s greatest collections of art.

The galleries stretch over four miles (six km) and include the magnificent Raphael rooms, the Etrus-can Museum and the Pio-Clementino Museum which boasts the world’s largest collection of Clas-sical statues.

Address: Viale Vaticano; Telephone: 06 6988 Opening time: Monday to Saturday between 09:00am 06:00pm , last entry at 04:00pm Closed on Sundays (with the exception of last Sunday every Month) and Religious Holidays Admission: €14,oo. Free on the last Sunday of every month
