All that through this themes spread at cultural and technical level and, above all, obtaining municipal and regional rules approval and national law. In this field the Campo Catino astronomical observatory distinguishes itself particularly because it has contributed to edit the Bill (No. 751) proposed to the Italian parliament by Senator Lino Diana, (in 1992 and subsequently in 1994 and 1996), it is entitled: "Urgent measures about the fight against light pollution and the induction of power consumption by using external lighting." and, because, Campo Catino observatory has elaborated a rule already approved by several municipalities in Frosinone province (but utilized as example by other Italian municipalities as Florence, Civitavecchia and Piacenza). It proposes to reduce, by five years after its approval, the artificial lights spread high-up and energy consumptions by using appropriate criteria and products. In this presentation the author explains juridical and technical aspects concerning the rules and laws created to fight light pollution in Italy.
