The event

«Girotondo tra i Pianeti» is a playful, interactive show designed for children and their parents. The planetarium hall becomes an imaginary launch pad toward the planets of the solar system and beyond.

It begins with learning to recognize the planets in the starry sky. Then the children, as young astronauts, chart the course of their mission; on request, the audience sets off, as in an interstellar taxi driven by the planetarium's astronomers, toward favorite planets and moons, and on to the planetary systems of other stars.

Where it takes place: Planetario di Roma

The venue reopened on April 22, 2022, after work to upgrade its technological apparatus. Its history goes back to 1928, which makes it the oldest planetarium in the world outside Germany. A dedicated page covers the Planetario di Roma and its astronomy museum, and a guide covers the EUR district.
