At the opening of the "Third Meeting on Celestial Mechanics -
CELMEC III", strong sensations hit our minds. The conference (18-22
June 2001) was being held in Villa Mondragone, a beautiful complex
of buildings and gardens located within the township of Monte
Porzio Catone, on the hills surrounding Rome. A former papal
residence, the building has been recently restored by the
University of Rome "Tor Vergata" to host academic activities and
events. The conference room is called "Salone degli Svizzeri":
here, Gregory XIII, on February 24, 1582, gave its sanction to the
reform of the Julian calendar and declared officially in use the
calendar still adopted nowadays. The magnificent high walls and
tall ceiling strongly resounded, giving to our voice a peculiar
Vatican sound, which took us by surprise. May be - we thought - a
distant echo of the very words of Gregory XIII proclaiming the
modem calendar was still haunting the room. Around us, in the
audience, many countries were represented, thus indicating that the
idea of putting together the three "souls" of modem Celestial
Mechanics - perturbation theories, solar and stellar system
studies, spaceflight dynamic- had been successful. CELMEC III is in
fact the latest of a series of meetings (the first two editions
took place in 1993 and 1997 in L' Aquila, Italy) whose aim is to
establish a common ground among people working in Celestial
Mechanics, yet belonging to different institutions such as
universities, astronomical observatories, research institutes,
space agencies and industries.
