Welcome to
47° CONGRESS CONVENTUS SOCIETAS ORL LATINA
47° CONGRESS CONVENTUS SOCIETAS ORL LATINA
Catania, 20 – 22 November 2025
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
it is not easy for me to describe to you the feelings that I have felt, and continue to feel, since when on the occasion of the Conventus of Naples, Prof. Passali on behalf of the Executive Board informed me that I would have the honor of organizing the 47° Congress “Conventus Societas ORL Latina”.
It is useless to hide that the prestige of the event, whose spread among the Latin countries and the subsequent participation has grown steadily, has induced in me that “natural” agitation that overtakes anyone preparing to host such an important event.
I am, of course, setting up a scientific program that will cover from every angle the most interesting developments regarding the various pathologies that affect the otorhinolaryngological district, placing particular emphasis on the most modern therapeutic approaches: medical, surgical, and rehabilitative, the result of most interesting researches and technological progresses.
It is with these assumptions that the city of Catania and Sicily will be ready to welcome you from 20 to 22 November 2025, offering not only its unique landscapes, archaeological sites, cultural heritage, and culinary delights but also the warmth, both human and climatic, that is characteristic of Latin countries. In 2025 the Catholic Church will also celebrate its Jubilee, so many of you will have the opportunity to visit Rome after the Congress to celebrate the Holy Year.
Looking forward to seeing many of you and hoping to meet again with many of you soon, I wish you all my most affectionate regards.
