In love with the sky since he was a child, he wanted to be a pilot, but his eyesight failed him. Throughout his life, however, he discovered that we can all “fly” by just turning our eyes to the sky, looking at the stars and maybe dreaming a little. So, he decided to study astrophysics, his true great passion.
After his success with the Primaria Live (4.338 views), Federico Di Giacomo, a researcher at the National Astrophysics Institute and coach at the Fondazione Mondo Digitale, will host a new course (on two different dates) in the runup to Didattiche 2020.
