We are happy to receive requests from journalists, publications or institutions interested in learning more about the work and mission of the Vatican Observatory.

How to request an interview

If you would like to arrange an interview with one of the members of the Observatory, please send an email to: staff@specola.va.

In your message, please specify:

-    the name of the journalist or contact person

-    the publication or institution they represent

-    the proposed date for the interview

-   any details that may be useful in better understanding the context and purpose of the meeting

This will help us to evaluate your request as effectively as possible. Once we have received all the information, our staff will contact you to confirm availability.

Documentaries

If the interview is part of a documentary, specific authorisation must be requested by writing first to staff@specola.va and clearly indicating the type of project to be carried out. If the member of the Observatory involved agrees to participate, you will need to send a second request for final approval to the Media Projects section of the Dicastery for Communication, by writing an email to info@mediaprojects.va specifying the details, content, purpose of the project and the date of filming.
