Tips

To extend the trip, consider adding a day in Frankfurt to visit the Städel Museum and a half‑day excursion to the historic town of Heidelberg. If time is limited, you can condense the exhibition visit to the core three days (9‑11 March) and fly directly from Frankfurt to Rome, then take a train to Capezzano, saving travel time while still covering all essential meetings.
