I started working in this field in my spare time (which is not
much) in 1997, when I commenced a study on the astronomical
orientation of the ancient church of St. Martin in Artegna
(Friuli-Italy). This building, that has a venerable history, appears
to be oriented rather precisely along the East-West direction (the
deviation is only 0.7 degrees), even though the natural horizon is
disturbed by the presence of some mountains.
This triggered
my curiosity and, since then, I started a more systematic work
in this area. Give a try to the following links to get some more details
on my activities in this field.
