Abstract
Angelo Secchi was one of the leading figures of 19th-century
science, and a founder of modern astrophysics. Some recent biographical
studies have revealed less-known aspects of his life and activity. This paper
describes his attendance to the Congress of the Italian Scientists in Palermo
and his travel to Cosenza, reveals his anxiety about the future of his
Observatory at Collegio Romano, his controversial participation and shows
his constant attention to promote citizen science.
