The Schiaparelli Observatory was built in 1964 on top of the "Campo Dei Fiori" mountain. It's part of the "Salvatore Furia" Citadel of Sciences of Nature, a place born to be "a bridge between science and the people" and intended for popular science. It's located at an altitude of 1226 meters within the "Campo Dei Fiori" natural park, a panoramic point on the majestic Alpine circle. The Citadel is animated thanks to the work, research, and reception of the volunteers of the “G.V. Schiaparelli" association, founded by Salvatore Furia in 1956.
We have three main telescopes at our observatory:
- a 50cm Cassegrain reflector intended for visual observation;
- a Celestron C14 (35cm Schmidt-Cassegrain reflector) mainly intended for astrophotograpy and photometry;
- a 84cm reflector intended for scientific research, such as NEOs monitoring and stellar spettroscopy.
We have a fourth telescope placed in Namibia, an Officina Stellare Pro RC 360: this telescope is accessible by everyone through Remote Skygems.
