Pistoia - Lighthouses and observation points Osservatorio The Pistoia Observatory was created in 1999 by the idea of the three founding partners: Marco Mancini, Tiziano Capecchi and Marco Burali. The birth of this observatory is due to a random meeting of the three founders during a public evening organized by an association. The name ``MTM Observatory`` contains the initials of the founders' baptism names and was created by the passion of being able to explore the sky and subsequently an excellent shooting position for all astronomy enthusiasts.
