THE RIGHT COMBINATIONS

In 2000 the ROTARY of Tradate proposed to build a natural path for the disables in the Pineta Park.

In the same period the president of Pineta Park ,Mario Clerici, thounght about a new didactic centre in the Park.

The Tradate town council presided by the mayor Dott. Stefano Candiani decided to connect different organizations: The Tradate municipality, the Varese province, the Pineta Park with Lombardia region, the comunity foundation of Varesotto, the Gruppo Astronomico Tradatese and the Rotary Club of Tradate in order to build a center of national importance.

What is being built in Tradate is a scientific, cultural and didactic center that will be used by all the school and teacher and by scientists as a tool for scientific research.

and...,why not…?, It will be a privilege for Tradate that will attract everyone, also people who aren't interested in ASTRONOMY!

 it will contribute to spread the knowledge of the Pineta Park to everyone!

ONLY OUR CULTURE AND CIVILIZATION WILL HELP US TO PRESERVE THIS NEW STRUCTURE THAT IS BEING BUILT IN TRADATE!!!

 


In 2003 the town council administration ,guided by the mayor Stefano Candiani,  has contributed in a relevant way supporting and subsidizing the project.

In the same period began the building of the Pineta Park.
