Michele Russo

Michele is a long-time employee and technical assistant at the Palermo planetarium. His goal: to promote amateur astronomy in Sicily.

Michele is a building surveyor and has been an astronomy and archaeology enthusiast since childhood. For ten years he worked in the construction industry, in sales, and in the field of web marketing. Thanks to a strange twist of fate, a lot of determination, a willingness to learn and some luck, he has rediscovered and revived his passion for telescopes, the universe and amateur astronomy. Today, he manages the sales function at astroshop.it for NIMAX GmbH, and is Omegon brand ambassador in Italy. His favourite saying is: "There is no perfect telescope, but there is a telescope that suits your needs perfectly”.
