The invitation is, in fact, to reach the area on foot or by bicycle. By public transport, however, it is possible to take Atb Line 9 to get to the former monastery. However, there is the possibility of parking with access from via delle Primule, with limited spaces. The event, the organizers say, will take place even in case of bad weather.
