ROME BREAST SURGERY SYMPOSIUMRECONSTRUCTIVE AND AESTHETIC BREAST SURGERY: PREVENTING COMPLICATIONS AND TREATING UNSATISFACTORY RESULTS
Scientific Committee
Roy de Vita, M.D. Chief of Plastic Surgery Department at National Institute for Cancer of Rome
Stefano Pompei, M.D. Chief of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department at S. Camillo 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 HillCapitoline 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: €6.50
38
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 ColosseumThis 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 Entrance
39
PantheonThe 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 SpagnaThe 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: €10

The Sistine Chapel & Vatican MuseumsThe 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) and Religious Holidays Admission: €15,00 Free on the last Sunday of every month
