The story

A visit to the Turin observatory in the hills around Pecetto is a spectacular place where you can be immersed in the firmament and where, in the planetarium, you can watch the stars projected onto the dome; then in the various rooms there are many experiential moments where you deal with gravitational forces, the birth of the universe and much more besides. A very enjoyable visit. buoniviaggiatutti ventoenuvole
