One hundred years of the Arcetri Solar Tower

The Solar Tower, a characteristic feature of Arcetri hill and emblem of the Observatory’s transition to astrophysics studies, was inaugurated one hundred years ago, on 22 June 1925. We celebrate the anniversary by transcribing the account of the inauguration and the speech given by the director of the Observatory Giorgio Abetti.
