    The Monte Porzio Catone Astronomical Observatory is an important scientific structure, it was designed in 1939 and completed in 1965, it stands above the remains of the Roman villa of Matidia, a close relative of the emperor Hadrian, from the first century AD. The imposing rationalist construction was used to conserve the equipment of the National Observatory of Rome and subsequently became a structure to promote astronomical and scientific dissemination. Currently the Observatory is equipped with the Astrolab and other educational resources for initiatives in favor of schools, universities, associative groups and private individuals. It was the setting for the film about the boys of via Panisperna, whose protagonists were Enrico Fermi and Ettore Majorana.
