Venue

ISPLC 2011 takes place in Udine, Italy on April 3-6, 2011:

Udine is the capital of the Udine province in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, a beautiful region located in Northeastern Italy. Udine is 100 km south of Austria, and 60 km west of Slovenia. The nearest airports are Triest Ronchi dei Legionari (50 km, 25 min. by car) and Venice Marco Polo (130 km, 75 min. by car or 90 min. by train).
The city area is populated since the neolithic age, however the first acknowledgement of the existence of the city was an edict of emperor Otto II, dating to 983, who donated the city to the Patriarchs of Aquileia. Since the middle age it is the historical capital of Friuli region eventually becoming the seat of the Patriarch of Aquileia, who was also the main feudal lord of the region. In 1420 the city was conquered by the Republic of Venice and since then it followed the fortunes of that city, joining the Austrian Empire and eventually the Italian Kingdom in 1866.
