About Anzio observatory

Anzio observatory is listed among Italy's network of astronomical observatories and research facilities that report minor planet and asteroid observations to national coordinating bodies. Beyond this, detailed public information about its instruments, founding, or research programme is limited.

Location & getting there

The observatory sits in Lazio, the region surrounding Rome, in the coastal town of Anzio on the Tyrrhenian Sea - a part of Italy better known for its beaches and Roman history than for stargazing, though clear coastal nights still offer decent views away from streetlights.
