I'm not using the template here because it doesn't really suit this sort of question. Anyway, I'm writing about the Medicina Radio Observatory and I'm trying to find a site that will give me a history of the observatory. The history page provided by the IRA, which is listed as the 'official' page for the Medicina Radio Observatory barely gives a history at all. It has about three small paragraphs that are badly worded and that hardly say anything.

So if any of you know where I could get a history of this observatory I'd be exdtremely grateful.

I have tried a few sites that list the observatory but they don't provide much in terms of a history. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is quite crucial to my research. Thank you!
