I work as process engineer for a big company in Turin.<\/p>\n<p>The passion for the sky has been with me pretty much always, and when I joke saying that I was born with binoculars in my hand,  I am not going too far from the truth. My first scope was a 2.5\" Russian refractor with two fixed magnifications of 30x and 60x, with which I observed the skies from my balcony. <\/p>\n<p>My love for astronomy is almost unconditional. I deal or have dealt with the history of astronomy, astrophysics, optics, astrometry and high resolution imaging of the Sun, Moon and planets.<\/p>\n<p>I ve been for about 3 years Coordinator of UAI Planetary Section. I work with several astronomy magazines  writing articles on various subjects.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element\" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\"fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vincenzodellavecchia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-20180712-WA0021.jpg\" class=\"fusion-lightbox\" data-rel=\"iLightbox[8eb8db48ffd58c24363]\" data-title=\"IMG-20180712-WA0021\" title=\"IMG-20180712-WA0021\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/vincenzodellavecchia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-20180712-WA0021.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/vincenzodellavecchia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-20180712-WA0021.jpg\" alt class=\"lazyload img-responsive wp-image-1471\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271200%27%20height%3D%271600%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201200%201600%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271200%27%20height%3D%271600%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/vincenzodellavecchia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-20180712-WA0021-200x267.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vincenzodellavecchia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-20180712-WA0021-400x533.jpg 400w, https:\/\/vincenzodellavecchia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-20180712-WA0021-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/vincenzodellavecchia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-20180712-WA0021-800x1067.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vincenzodellavecchia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-20180712-WA0021.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\" style=\"--awb-text-font-family:&quot;Raleway&quot;;--awb-text-font-style:normal;--awb-text-font-weight:400;\"><p class=\" translation-block\"><em>With the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo in La Palma (Canary Islands), visited in July 2018.
