The Tuscolana astronomy association operates an amateur observatory in Italy, part of a wider network of volunteer-run stargazing sites across the country.
About the Tuscolana Astronomy Association
The observatory is run by the Associazione Tuscolana di Astronomia and is registered with the Unione Astrofili Italiani (UAI), Italy's national association for amateur astronomers. It holds its own IAU observatory code, K75, used when reporting astronomical observations.
Location & getting there
The observatory is in the Domatore area of Italy. Use the map and directions button on this page to plan your route there.
Visiting
As a volunteer-run association site, opening times are likely tied to member-led events rather than fixed public hours, so check with the association directly before visiting.
See your named star from here
Amateur associations like this one are often the friendliest place to actually see a named star through a telescope, since members are usually happy to help point out coordinates in the night sky. Take a look at our star catalogue to find stars named near Italy.
Opening hours and public-visit programs vary by season. Check Google Maps for current times before you travel.
