The location of the European Democratic Party convention will be Florence's Stazione Leopolda, a 19th-century train station along the city's avenues, now converted into a convention center. It is at the Stazione Leopolda that Matteo Renzi, president of Italia Viva, one of our member parties, has been organizing since 2010 the "Leopolda," one of the main events in Italian politics, with thousands of people coming to Florence from all over Italy for a three-day event of debates and good politics.
