The Welcome Mixer will be held at the ex Fish Market in Piazza Ferrarese, just a 5-minute walk from the Chamber of Commerce.
The ex-Fish Market is a compact two-story building with a balanced horizontal and vertical composition. Its Piazza del Ferrarese façade features five central bays opening onto the market, while the second and eighth bays provide upper-floor access. The ground floor, typical of early 19th-century architecture, has arched openings framed by double ashlar pilasters on high stone plinths, ending in a projecting cornice. The first floor serves as a loft parapet, adorned with paired Ionic columns alternating with wide rectangular windows featuring pinnacled epistyles and shell motifs. A summit cornice on brackets completes the façade.
The Corso Vittorio Emanuele and Via Vallisa façades have three and four bays, respectively, with ground-floor windows and access to workshops under restoration. The east frontage, maintaining the general style, has a simplified ornamentation indicating a later construction period, with architraved openings and square mezzanine windows.

22:30 – Departure for Bari

Villa de Grecis is a prestigious location situated in the heart of Bari, just a few minutes from the city centre. Immersed in its splendid park, it is a special place that expresses a harmonious fusion of architecture and nature. The special care of the garden comes from the passion of Antonio de Grecis. From the beginning of the 20^th century, with the spirit of a “brilliant green architect”, he selected every species with infinite care, like an art collector. Art and greenery are the guiding threads of the Villa: works of art enrich every corner of the buildings, from the halls to the stairs, while the park is rich in historical specimens over a hundred years old.
The oldest part of Villa de Grecis dates back to the end of the 18^th century, when the family of the same name moved from Trani to Bari and made the residence their summer residence, buying an old farmhouse in the countryside just outside the city. Today, Villa de Grecis is an integral part of Bari and has numerous indoor and outdoor spaces that are well suited to any kind of event: at the front, the dense trees form a welcoming and private natural amphitheatre around the courtyard in front of the residence. The Orangerie, a modern and welcoming structure immersed in the 19^th century park, is situated in the rear part, characterised by a large lawn, shaped by the ancient walls of the “hortus inclusus”.
