Borgo Universo, Open-air museum in Aielli, Italy.
The collection contains 41 large murals painted on buildings across the village, creating a continuous artistic narrative throughout the urban space.
Established in 2017, this artistic initiative draws inspiration from Filippo Angelitti, a local astronomer born in 1856 who studied celestial observations.
International artists contribute new murals each year during the August festival, connecting street art with astronomical themes through their creative expressions.
Free guided tours operate on weekends, allowing visitors to discover the murals while learning about the artistic techniques and meanings behind each piece.
The Torre delle Stelle observatory integrates astronomical observations with the art displays, merging scientific education and creative expression in one location.
