The lack of powerful telescopes slowed down the new approach, physical rather than dynamical, to the astronomical research. In constrast to the Italian situation, such a new field, astrophysics, was becoming the driving sector in other European countiries and also in the USA.
    Giovanni Silva realized that the construction of the big telescope could bring a fresh air in the astrophysical Italian studies and, since the beginning of this direction, he worked for reaching this ambitious aim.
    This idea had the fortune to find a fertile soil only when Carlo Anti ws named the Cancellor of the univesity of Padua. He understood the scientific importance of such a project, including the building University plan the realization of a mountain branch of the astronomical observatory. A new telescope had to becaome operative in this centre for observational activities. Asiago was chosen for the altitude, the clearness and the darkness of the skies. The scientific commission composed by Emilio Bianchi( Director of the Astronomical Commission of National Research COuncil), Giorgio Abetti (Director of the Arcetri Observatory) and Giovanni Silva, weighted all the technical possibilities for the realization of the telescope and decided to commit the mechanical and optical construction to the Officine Galileo, in Florence.

     Unprofessional and unfriendly staff. The security guard is screaming and phisically threatening clients for no apparent reasons. So does the owner. Don't go to this place!
