[Ql-Users] 16th Sinclair QL Italian

[Giorgio Garabello via Ql-Users]

The 16th Sinclair QL Italian meeting will take place on Sunday 5 April
2020 at DTM Technologies premises in Modena.

We will start around 10:00 and the meeting will continue till 17:00 with
a break of one hour for lunch  in the nearby shopping center.

As for the last two Italian meetings  we will organize educational
sessions, we will have presentation of ongoing projects in Italy and we
hope to organize teleconferences with overseas users; to reserve your
connection session the details will be provided separately to the
interested persons.
How to reach

DTM is located in Northern Italy 2 Km far from “Modena Nord” A1 motorway
exit. The offices are located inside the “Direzionale Tacito 51-65”
building between the “Metro” and “Grandemilia” shopping centre. Closest
airport is Bologna “Guglielmo Marconi” which can be reached in 40 minutes
(45 Km). Verona airport is 102 Km far (1 hour). Milan and Florence can be
reached in 1h 30 minutes by car or by train with very convenient
connections. The “Mediopadana” high speed train station of Reggio Emilia
designed by Santiago Calatrava is 25 Km far from DTM
How to reach by car From the Motorway:

Take the exit Modena Nord on the A1 motorway (0 Km – toll gate). After 0,5
Km you will reach a roundabout (A). Remember to keep the left lane before
reaching this roundabout. Take the exit for “Fiera” (270°) and you will
pass over the A1 motorway. You will soon reach another roundabout (B –
1,3Km). Take second exit direction “Reggio Emilia – SS9”, you are now in
Viale Virgilio. At the next roundabout (C – 1,7 Km)) take the 2nd exit
following the direction “Reggio Emilia SS.9”. On your left you will find
the “Metro” shopping mall. Just after the flags and the bus stop (2,0 Km)
turn right in Via Omero. At the next cross-road turn right in Via Tacito
(2,3 Km). DTM is located at the end of the street (2,5 Km) in the corner of
the building on your left.
From Statale 9 Emilia.

You will find a traffic light (D) and if you arrive from Reggio Emilia on
your left (or on your right if you arrive from Modena) you will see a very
big sign showing the current exposition in Modena Fair. Turn there, after
200m just before the bus stop and the flags turn right into Via Omero.
After 400m turn right in Via Tacito. DTM is located at the end of the
street in the corner of the building on your left.
How to reach DTM by train

Stop at Modena railway station. Then take a TAXI or in alternative take Bus
n.9 that stops in front of “Metro” shopping mall (then follows the
instructions given above). You should ask for the stop “Viale Virgilio –
Metro”. Please note that some of these buses does not stop in Viale
Virgilio but proceed directly towards Rubiera. In that case you have to
stop in Via Emilia beside the big “Grandemilia” shopping centre. Then you
will have to walk for 5 minutes to reach DTM.

Stop at Reggio Emilia “Mediopadana” high speed railway station. Then take a
TAXI to Modena which is located 25 Km far from the Mediopadana station. Or
from the Mediopadana station get but/train to Reggio Emilia railway station
and with the local trains you can reach Modena railway station
