All the pictures
Then, another suggestive moment: the Arquatese amateurs group (Gast) has positioned its telescopes for the observation of Saturn, the Moon and Jupiter. Images of the nearly full moon will be projected onto the pylons of the new bridge.
The latter is a tribute to all the victims that is renewed in the memory of Alessandro Robotti who lived in Arquata Scrivia and on 14 August 2018 was traveling on the holiday road with his partner Giovanna Bottaro. Passionate about astronomy, he devoted many hours of his free time to scientific dissemination among children, to convey the same desire to look up at the stars.
“We also brought his telescope,” recalls his brother Paolo. A sign of life that continues.
