35th European Congress of Psychiatry (EPA 2027)

Florence in early spring is a quiet, sunlit pleasure — the crowds of summer haven't arrived, and the city's Renaissance treasures, from the Uffizi to the Duomo, feel more intimate. Between sessions at the Fortezza da Basso, you can stroll the Oltrarno for artisan workshops and trattorias serving ribollita or a plate of fresh pappardelle al cinghiale, best followed by a gelato near the Arno. It's a chance to pair serious psychiatry with the unhurried rhythm of a Florentine April.
