What’s the difference between an “accompanied visit” and a “guided visit”?
An “accompanied visit” is a more “independent” style of visit. After an autonomous tour of the Gallery, museum staff will accompany the public to the Schiaparelli Dome. Essential information about the Schiaparelli Dome and the astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli will be provided.
A “guided visit” is a more structured style of visit that includes a guide who accompanies and follows the group for the entire duration of the tour, from the Gallery, with a historical-scientific introduction, all the way to the precious Schiaparelli Dome.
The ticket is transferable but cannot be canceled or refunded.
Maximum punctuality is recommended in respecting the time of the purchased ticket. If the time is not respected, entry will not be guaranteed.
