[asac] ASAC logistics (info needed)

[Leonardo Testi]

Hi all,
     given the number of people that already expressed interest, the  
visit at the Corridoio will take place on Sunday afternoon. If you  
are not in the list below and you wish to come to the tour (or if you  
note an error) please let me know, I need to reserve the exact number  
of tickets.

The tour will start at 16:00 in Piazza Pitti (we will walk there from  
the conf center (10-15 min).
We will be guided through the corridor from palazzo Pitti over the  
old bridge and into the Uffizi through the corridor. Each one of us  
will be free to spend time inside the Uffizi. On top of the permanent  
collection there is a special exhibition on Leonardo da Vinci. As I  
mentioned before the total (guided tour at the corridoio plus Uffizi) 
cost should be in the range 35-45 euro/person, depending on the final  
number of people.
