Media Village
All accredited press personnel will be able to follow the Summit at the Media Village set up at the Coppito Guardia di Finanza campus, the same venue where the eight major countries’ meetings are to be held.
Accreditation
The journalists, photographers and cameramen who have received an e-mail confirming their G8 accreditation can collect their press badges from 1 July onwards from the accreditation centres in Roma and L’Aquila and, from 7 July, from the Mediterranean Village in Chieti.
In order to complete the accreditation procedure, you must:

The on-line accreditation system also gives access to the procedure for booking accommodation over the Summit period.
Accommodation
Journalists may stay at the Chieti Mediterranean Village, approximately 90 km from L’Aquila, or, alternatively, in a number of hotels in Chieti and Pescara (100 km from L’Aquila).
The Chieti Mediterranean Village is a newly built facility extending over an 18-hectare area, with spacious gardens and parking areas. It comprises over 750 apartments sleeping from one to six.
A shuttle service will be laid on to and from the Mediterranean Village and the Summit venue.
