Dr. Carlos A. Coello Coello was invited to act as plenary speaker at the 9th International Conference on Intelligent Systems Design and Applications (ISDA'2009)), which took place in Pisa, Italy, from 30 November to 2 December, 2009.

In this occasion, Dr. Coello took his family with him to visit Italy for the first time. They took the opportunity to spend a few days in Rome before reaching Pisa, and then a few days in Venice before returning to Mexico.

Below, you can see pictures from Rome, Pisa and Venice, as well as from the conference. Needless to say, Dr. Coello and his family had a great time in Italy and hope to go back again soon.
