ROME BREAST SURGERY SYMPOSIUM
RECONSTRUCTIVE AND AESTHETIC BREAST SURGERY:
PREVENTING COMPLICATIONS AND TREATING UNSATISFACTORY RESULTS
Scientific Committee

Chief of Plastic Surgery Chief of Plastic and
Department at National Reconstructive Surgery

Forlanini Hospital in Rome
Dear Colleagues,
This year the Rome Breast Surgery Symposium will be held in Rome from June 8-10; the Symposium
is wholly dedicated to Breast Surgery, preventing complications and treating unsatisfactory results.
We have chosen a more practical approach over an exclusively academic approach, also availing
ourselves of the contributions of prestigious North American institutions with which we will
exchange experiences in a constructive debate in real time, through a video conference session.
The Symposium will host 26 of the most important world opinion leaders in the field of Plastic
Surgery, Breast Reconstruction and Aesthetic Surgery. It will be centered on a focused comparison,
on prevention, and treatment of unsatisfactory results including complications that could
compromise the patient’s morphological-rehabilitation aspects.
During the Symposium different effects of the impact that cancer has on breasts today will be
covered, as well as the rehabilitation and reconstruction prospects available in the future. In addition
to the more current and controversial subjects concerning aesthetic breast surgery.
Every day there will be sessions with “opinion leaders” while the last day of the Symposium will
be fully dedicated to the presentation of the best Abstracts submitted to the panel, composed of
internationally famous colleagues.
In addition, we have included three “extreme” debating sessions: the Gladiators’ Fight; the Boxing
Ring; the Full Contact and the Wrestling Ring!
A unique opportunity, during a debate organized as a talk show “2 against 2”, for comparison
and confrontation of the leading representatives from all over the world in our field.
We believe that comparing and sharing knowledge is and always will be the key to achieving
important and significant results.
Yours sincerely,
Roy de Vita, Stefano Pompei

VISIT ROME
Ancient Capital of the Roman Empire, seat of Catholic Cristianity and cradle of Western Civilization,
the city of Rome bears witness to nearly three millennia of history. Its historic centre, a UNESCO
world heritage site, is rich in vistas of rare beauty and priceless artistic treasures.
There’s more to see here than in any other city in the world, with the relics of over two thousand
years of inhabitation packed into its sprawling urban area. You could spend a month here and still
only scratch the surface
There are of course the city’s classical features, most visibly the Colosseum, and the Forum and
Palatine Hill; but from here there’s an almost uninterrupted sequence of monuments - from early
Christian basilicas, Romanesque churches, Renaissance palaces, right up to the fountains and
churches of the Baroque period, which perhaps more than any other era has determined the look
of the city today.
There is the modern epoch too, from the ponderous Neoclassical architecture of the post-Unification
period to the self-publicizing edifices of the Mussolini years.
MAIN ATTRACTIONS
Capitoline Hill
Capitoline Hill was the original Capitol of the ancient city
and continues to serve as the seat of the city’s government.
The main feature of the area is Michelangelo’s Piazza del
Campidoglio, a testimony to the superiority of Renaissance
town planning.
The piazza is bordered by three palaces: the Palazzo
dei Conservatori and the twin structures of the Palazzo
dei Senatori and Palazzo Nuovo which house the Musei
Capitolini, containing the largest collection of classical
statues in the world.
Among the notable statues found here are the Dying Gaul and the Satyr, the Capitoline Wolf with
Romulus and Remus and the Spinario.
Paths cut along the side of the hill from the Campidoglio giving way to panoramic views of the
ancient sites of the Forum and Colosseum.
Address: Piazza del Campidoglio; Telephone: 060608
Opening time: Museums open Tuesday to Sunday 9am to 8pm; Admission: €6.5038
Roman Forum (Foro Romano)
The site of ancient Rome’s commercial, political and
religious centre retires in the valley between the Capitoline
and Palatine hills.
The Forum’s main thorough fare, Via Sacra, slices through
the old market square and former civic centre.
To make sense of the ruins and relics of the old Republic it
is helpful to consult a map of the area.
Some of the best preserved and most notable monuments
include the impressive Arch of Septimus Severus - a construction designed to celebrate Roman
victory over the Parthinians - and the former atrium of the House of the Vestal Virgins and Temple
of Vesta.
Also of note are the Temple of Antoninus and Faustina, and the Arch of Titus, built to celebrate Titus’
destruction of Jerusalem in AD70.
To the right of the arch are stairs snaking up the Palatine hill through a series of terraces to the
Farnese gardens. The scented avenue festooned with roses and orange trees gives way to a vista
over the Forum.
Address: Via dei Fori Imperiali; Telephone: 06 3996 7700; Opening time: Daily 8.30am to 1 hour
before sunset Admission: €12,00 on site + online booking fee €2,00; Ticket lasts 2 days and is valid also
for the Colosseum Entrance
The Colosseum
This enduring symbol of ancient Rome tenaciously clings
to its foundations as the site of former gladiatorial
conquests. Its architecture boasts an impressive array of
Doric, Ionic and Corinthian columns and an underground
network of cells, corridors, ramps and elevators that were
used to transport animals from their cages to the arena.
The magnificence of the original structure has been
eroded through the years of pillaging and earthquakes so
that only a skeletal framework remains.
Address: Piazza del Colosseo; Telephone 06.39967700; Opening time: Daily 8.30am to 1 hour before
sunset Admission: €12,00 on site + online booking fee €2,00; Ticket lasts 2 days and is valid also for the
Foro Palatino Entrance39
Pantheon
The stately Pantheon is one of the world’s most inspiring
architectural designs.
Fittingly built as a temple to the Gods by Hadrian in 120AD,
its perfectly proportioned floating dome rests seductively
on sturdy marble columns.
The only light source flowing through the central oculus
was used by the Romans to measure time (with the aid of a
sundial) and the dates of equinoxes and solstices.
The south transept houses the Carafa Chapel and the
tomb of Fra Angelico rests under the left side of the altar.
About 125 years ago, Raphael’s tomb was discovered here
(fans still bring him flowers).
Vittorio Emanuele II, king of Italy, and his successor,
Umberto I, are interred here as well.
Address: Piazza della Rotonda; Telephone: 06 6830 0230; Opening time: Monday to Saturday be-
tween 8.30am and 7.30pm and Sunday from 9am to 6pm; Admission: Free
The Spanish Steps and Piazza di Spagna
The graceful steps built in 1725, elegantly curve their way
from the Piazza di Spagna to the Church of Santa Trinità dei
Monti, a pastel tinted neoclassical building.
The steps and the square take their names from the
Spanish Embassy, which used to be headquartered here
The shopper’s paradise of Via Condotti leads back from the
Spanish steps to Via del Corso, and during spring the steps
are decorated with pink azaleas.
At the foot of the steps lies Bernini’s boat-shaped Barcaccia fountain and to the right is Keats-Shelley
Memorial House.
The steps and the piazza below are always packed with a crowd: strolling, reading in the sun,
browsing the vendors’ carts, and people-watching.
Address: Piazza di Spagna Opening time: Shops are usually opened Monday to Saturday between
10:00am and 7.30pm and Sunday from 10:30am to 7:30pm;40
Trevi Fountain (Fontana di Trevi)
The tiny Piazza di Trevi has been immortalised through this
fountain built for Pope Clement XII.
Today this newly restored gem is a must on everybody’s
itinerary.
Supplied by water from the Acqua Vergine aqueduct and
a triumph of the baroque style, it was based on the design
of Nicolo Salvi and was completed in 1762.
The design centers on the triumphant figure of Neptunus
Rex, standing on a shell chariot drawn by winged steeds and led by a pair of tritons.
Two allegorical figures in the side niches represent good health and fertility.
Tossing a coin into the fountain is supposed to guarantee a return trip to Rome
Address: Piazza di Trevi Opening time: Always opened with the exception of Mondays when they clean
the fountain
St Peter’s Basilica (Basilica di San Pietro)
The Basilica lies above the reputed site of St. Peter’s tomb.
It is an overwhelming interior containing notable
sculptures including Michelangelo’s Pieta, which is
protected by bullet-proof glass since the damaging attack
on it in 1972.
In the central aisle stands Arnolfo da Cambio’s bronze
statue of St Peter, its foot worn down by the constant flow
of pilgrims’ kisses.
Proudly resting above the papal altar is Bernini’s Throne of
St Peter.
The Vatican Grottoes, containing papal tombs, can be reached by steps from the statue of St
Longinus. The Necropolis is located one level below the grottoes. This is the legendary site of St
Peter’s tomb and advance permission has to be obtained to view it.
Address: Piazza San Pietro; Telephone: 06 6988 4466; Opening time: Daily between 7am and 7pm
(April to September) and 7:00am to 6:00pm (October to March); Admission: Free

SS. Peter and Paul Basilica
The title was established on 5 February 1965 by Pope
Paul VI. The original scheme was part of the 1936 Fascist
scheme for hosting the World Exhibition in 1942, which
never took place because of World War II but which left a
legacy of monumental buildings in all the Eur area. The
church was planned for a high point at the west end of
the site, and was entrusted to a committee of architects:
Arnaldo Foschini, Alfredo Energici, Vittorio Grassi, Nello
Ena, Tullio Rossi and Costantino Vetriani. They chose a
plan based on a Greek cross, in deliberate emulation of
the original plan for the new St Peter’s by Michelangelo. Construction began in 1939, but was
delayed by the war and by a lack of enthusiasm on the part of the Diocese to be involved. It was
only completed in 1955, and became a parish church in 1958. Apparently, the original function of
this building was to be the mausoleum of Mussolini
Address: Piazzale Santi Pietro e Paolo 8, Eur Roma; Telephone: 06.5926166 Opening time: Monday to
Saturday between 09:00am 07:00pm , Admission: Free
Maxxi Museum
The winning design was that of the Anglo-Iraqi architect
Zaha Hadid, chosen from among 273 candidates from
all over the world. Zaha Hadid’s proposal convinced the
jury thanks to its capacity to integrate with the urban
fabric and for its innovative architecture successfully
interpreting the potential of the new institution and
equipping it with an extraordinary sequence of public
spaces.
The MAXXI design goes beyond the concept of
the building-museum. The complexity of the volumes, the curving walls, the variations and
intersections of the levels determine a very rich spatial and functional configuration that visitors
may pass through via ever different and unexpected routes. Multiple environments coexist in a
sequence of galleries illuminated with natural light filtered via a special roof system. The large full
height atrium houses the reception services and leads into the auditorium, the galleries destined
for the permanent collections, the exhibitions and the spaces devoted to the cafeteria and the
bookshop.
Address: Via Guido Reni, 4/A00196 Rome Telephone: +39 06 3201954 from Tuesday to Sunday, 10.00-
18.00 Opening Hours: Tuesday to Sunday 11am to 7pm, Saturday 11am to 10pm; The ticket office is
open until 1 hour before museum closing; Closed: every Monday Admission: €1042
The Sistine Chapel & Vatican Museums
The Sistine Chapel’s famous ceiling painted by
Michelangelo looms above the frescoes on the side walls
that were painted by an illustrious team of artists that
included Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, Roselli, Pinturicchio,
Signorelli and della Gatta.
The altar wall is covered by Michelangelo’s Last Supper,
revealing the figure of Christ hovering above centre and
flanked by Mary and other saintly figures.
The Vatican Museums provide an inspiring visit to one of
the world’s greatest collections of art.
The galleries stretch over four miles (six km) and include the magnificent Raphael rooms, the
Etruscan Museum and the Pio-Clementino Museum which boasts the world’s largest collection of
Classical statues.
Address: Viale Vaticano; Telephone: 06 6988 Opening time: Monday to Saturday between 09:00am
06:00pm , last entry at 04:00pm Closed on Sundays (with the exception of last Sunday every Month)
