The location was chosen in Pisa because it was the birthplace of two great astrologers: Galileo Galilei who died 370 years ago and Cardinal Maffi, who for 27 years, served as director of the Vatican's Observatory.


Fr. Jose Luis Funes

Director, Vatican Observatory

“The exhibit will help to understand the history of the universe, the one outside of us and the one within us. The Vatican Observatory is sharing it's history with the public. Among the most valuable pieces are very old documents from Galileo, Newton, and Kepler, the giants of astronomy. Also among the meteorites that will be presented is a stone from the moon as well as one believed to be from Mars.”
