Summary/Abstract: The Livio Gratton is a small size Planetarium (40–seat capacity) located in Latina (near Roma, Italy); it belongs to the Scientific High School G.B. Grassi since its construction in 2003. In less than eighteen months of activity the number of admissions has been superior to 4000, but the situation was rather different previously, when the almost absolute lack of information about the structure and the few visitors induced the headmaster to accomplish a managing, cultural, educational and scientific valorization policy. Such galvanizing experience is worthy to be described from the discouraging premises till the positive response from audience and critics.
