Did you know that there is an astronomical museum and observatory in Milan?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Walking through the Brera Botanical Garden, many people often look up and notice the presence of a fascinating dome, but not everyone knows what it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Brera Astronomical Observatory (OAB), a world-renowned research institute of excellence, is the oldest scientific institution in Milan.
Since 1946 it has been part of the scientific institutions of the Italian Republic and in 2001 became part of the National Institute of Astrophysics (INAF).
The observatory has been located in Milan’s Brera palace since 1762, the year in which Father Lagrange established professional observational astronomical research in Milan.
The first specola, designed and built by Father Ruggero Boscovich in 1764, underwent transformations to adapt to the observational needs of later periods.
Subsequently, most observational activities were transferred to the second site at Villa San Rocco, in Merate (LC), Brianza, active since 1923.
Research activities are still fully in force at both observatory sites.

It is also home to the Brera Astronomical Museum, which is open to the public and can be visited by appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"raw":"\n\n\n

Passeggiando per l\u2019Orto Botanico di Brera in molti spesso alzando gli occhi al cielo notano la presenza di un\u2019affascinante cupola, non tutti per\u00f2 sanno di cosa si tratta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera (OAB), istituto di ricerca d\u2019eccellenza riconosciuto a livello mondiale, \u00e8 la pi\u00f9 antica istituzione scientifica di Milano.
Dal 1946 \u00e8 entrato a far parte delle istituzioni scientifiche della Repubblica Italiana e nel 2001 \u00e8 confluito nell\u2019Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF).
L\u2019osservatorio mantiene la sua sede in palazzo Brera a Milano fin dal 1762, anno in cui Padre Lagrange imposta l\u2019attivit\u00e0 di ricerca astronomica osservativa di tipo professionale a Milano.
La prima specola, progettata e fatta costruire da padre Ruggero Boscovich nel 1764, ha subito trasformazioni per adattarsi alle esigenze osservative dei periodi successivi.
Successivamente, la maggior parte delle attivit\u00e0 osservative vengono trasferite alla seconda sede presso Villa San Rocco, a Merate (LC), in Brianza, attiva dal 1923.
L\u2019attivit\u00e0 di ricerca \u00e8 ancora pienamente in vigore in entrambe le sedi dell\u2019Osservatorio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al suo interno inoltre si trova il Museo Astronomico di Brera aperto al pubblico e visitabile su prenotazione.<\/p>\n","_it_post_name":"losservatorio-astronomico-di-brera","_it_post_excerpt":"","_it_post_title":"L'Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera","_en_post_content":"\n\n\n
