Built in a grand Baroque style over the 17th and 18th centuries, the historical Villa Arconati-FAR will be hosting the WAF Conference over two days. Villa Arconati-FAR is a heritage of great historical, cultural and architectural value.

Fondazione Augusto Rancilio is hosting an exhibition by Chinese artist Angela Lyn entitled ‘On the Edge of Time’ that will be on display during the WAF Conference 2022 and open to all attendees.
