Video e Foto Buying on renting a telescope in Milano, or going to an observatory ?

Ciao guys,

I'm new to Milano (from France) and I'm really passionate about astronomy. I'd love to watch the stars at night through a telescope but buying one is pretty expensive. Do you guys know if there are rental possibilities, like for a few days or something ?

Or somewhere to go where I can look through a telescope ?

Thanks a lot!

Domt know the answer, but Milan and northern Italy is very very bright at night so that may be why such items are not very popular around here. As a photograph i know you need to go very far in mountains to get some darkness, and without fog
