Subjects : It is an astronomical observatory that stands on a hill overlooking all the valleys of the Empolese Valdelsa on one side and Florence on the other. It is a very suitable place to observe the night sky, even if light pollution is not absent. The place is managed by the group of amateur astronomers of Montelupo who are very competent and helpful. On Friday evenings the place is open to all, the others on days for members. There is a chance to get help and use their equipment. The surrounding forest is one of the wildest in the area, and is a good place for those looking for wildlife, including foxes, wild boars, hares etc.

Recommended equipment : Tripod, bright wide angle, better if astro tracker. It is possible to ask for technical support from the association and also to use their stands and frames.

Best months : All year round although clearly the summer months are more comfortable.

How to get there : Turn onto Via San Vito which goes up from Via Tosco Romagnola Nord. The last stretch, the one inside the woods is dirt and steep, but it is covered with all the cars.

Visits : The area of the observatory is left every Friday evening (to be verified on the website of the association), the other days for members. The surrounding forest is of course always usable.
