I've added the Debian.ch community on CC.

Would the proposed location be closer to Malpensa or Bergamo airport?

Is it accessible by bus services from an airport or main railway station
like Milano, Monza or Como or would people (or a group) need to arrange
car hire?

You could also promote this on some of the calendar sites mentioned here[1]

The Open Labs group in Albania organized a Linux weekend in late
February this year, I'm not sure if they will repeat it at the same time.

How scalable will the venue be?
