anniversary of the foundation of the International Bureau for Epilepsy
(IBE). The special event concert will be held in the Auditorium Conciliazione, on Via della Conciliazione which leads to St. Peter’s Square. The Auditorium Conciliazione was the venue for the epilepsy congress in 1961, when the IBE was founded. |

The recently renovated Sala Grande will play host to the world-renowned Carabinieri Band for the special event concert of the 29th IEC. A buffet will be served in the elegant Foyer of the Auditorium Conciliazione during the evening. |
| The venue is in the centre of Rome, near St. Peter’s Square, and well within walking distance of city-centre hotels, so delegates staying the city centre may easily stroll to the concert. There will be shuttle buses from the congress venue to the Auditorium Conciliazione after the day’s programme has ended. | |
La Banda dei Carabinieri: |
|

The Band was founded in 1820 when the Royal Carabinieri Corps assembled a group of buglers for the first time. This was then transformed in 1862 into a fanfare and by 1920 had further developed into a full Band contingent of the Carabinieri Force. The Band became famous for its quality of style and has had many prestigious tours abroad in Europe, North and South America, the Middle East and Japan. The Carabinieri Band, with 103 musicians, each one expert in a particular instrument, interpret the most famous compositions with a rich repertoire from traditional military marches to modern and classical music. |
