In ancient Etruria, situated at the edge of a plateau, ten megaliths separated by narrow passages delineated the monumental observatory of Poggio Rota. The Etruscan religion venerated deities dwelling in the sky, and the observatory represented for them the point of contact between the earthly and the celestial worlds. On full moon nights, in the height of the warm season, families gathered on the Poggio Rota hilltop to observe the stars and celebrate the mysteries of the cosmos. Priests and astronomers, adorned in white tunics and surrounded by smoking torches, took their positions to observe, while twilight gave way to night, the sky opening up above them, dotted with shimmering stars. The Etruscans delved into the investigation of the celestial vault to predict human events; using rudimentary instruments, they calculated the arrival of the seasons and interpreted the stars as divine omens. While families gathered around the lit fires, the priests performed sacred rites to honor the celestial gods and ask for their protection. They sang ancient hymns, burned incense, spices, and fragrant flowers, and offered prayers to the stars. In the darkness of the nights, the Poggio Rota Observatory became the center of the Etruscan cosmos, where magic and science merged into a single mystical experience. Every vaporization of Astra noctis, symbol of the enchantment and magic of this place, is a journey through time, a sensory experience that transports those who wear it among the stars and the ancient ruins of this extraordinary place.
