The Arcetri Observatory and the Institute and Museum of the History of Science, both in Flornence, Italy, plan to use "the recreated apparatus to catalogue all the objects recorded in Galileo’s Sidereus Nuncius (or, in English, “Starry Messenger”), the treatise that Galileo published in 1610 which included many of his early observations."
