The Italian Astronomical Society is one of the oldest Italian scientific associations: founded in Rome in 1871 as the Society for Italian Spectroscopists, it includes professional as well as amateur astronomers and teachers among its 800 members.

In the last 10 years, the Society has been concerned with the problems of teaching, as a result of the enormous demand from schools where astronomy is often not well taught at any level because of a lack of suitable qualified teachers.

To meet this need, the Society publishes a quarterly journal entitled Il Giornale di Astronomia, which includes news of astronomical events, informative articles and accounts of didactic experiences as well as other information that may be helpful to teachers of astronomy.
