A little ramble through 19th century astronomy - Schiaparelli and the Milan Observatory in 1873

Nature December 11th 1873

Signor Schiaparelli, Director the Milan Observatory, has been appointed Director of the Florence Observatory in place of the late Signor Donati.

The Florence Observatory which stands near Galileo’s Tower at Arcetri, is in every way superior to that of Milan, and we may look for considerable results from an astronomer who has already done so much with small opportunities.
