Venue
Villa Erba is a 19th-century villa in Cernobbio, on the shores of world-renowned Lake Como, Italy. The building is today complemented by first-class conference facilities and is surrounded by a gorgeous park facing the lake. Luchino Visconti, one of the fathers of Italian neo-realism, was probably its most famous dweller. This pleasing setting gives a charming Italian touch to the international reach of the WM Forum & Week.
