and donated to the Holy See in 1924, the Bambino Gesu Children’'s
Hospital is now a comprehensive children’s polyclinic. In 1985, it has
been formally recognized by the Italian Ministry of Health as Istituto
di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico IRCCS (Research Hospital),
and it is now one of the three Paediatric IRCCS in Italy, and the only
one for Central and Southern Regions. The Hospital is a reference
point in Italy and abroad and it is connected to the most important
paediatric centres in Europe and the United States.

The conversation with the astronaut will be conducted in Italian.

ARISS is an international educational outreach program partnering the
participating space agencies, NASA, Russian Space Agency, ESA, CNES,
JAXA, and CSA, with the AMSAT and IARU organizations from
participating countries.

ARISS offers an opportunity for students to experience the excitement
of Amateur Radio by talking directly with crewmembers onboard the
International Space Station. Teachers, parents and communities see,
first hand, how Amateur Radio and crewmembers on ISS can energize
youngsters' interest in science, technology and learning.
