Dear friends, I prefer the completely different idea of the two Italian gnomonists Paolo Albéri Auber and Aurelio Pantanali, who have written the information right besides the analemma-line into the floor of the Piazza della Borsa- place! No extra panel is needed and people stay long very close to the line and do their shadow experiments. A nice long story about this sundial can be seen in the beginning of this link http://www.ta-dip.de/dies-und-das/schwarzes-brett.html , starting with
I T A L I E N Piazza della Borsa è una delle piazze principali di Trieste. Conosciuta anche come il secondo salotto buono cittadino la piazza è stata il centro economico della città per tutto il XIX secolo.

As Roger already noted, most of the people stood on the label of the month, rather than on the point on the centerline to which the label referred. Who knows a means by which visitors to a analemmatic sundial stand intuitively in the right place ? An instruction on a information panel doesn't work. I try it to place the labels of the month at a distance away from a separate meridian line. see http://www.wijzerweb.be/hasselt010A.html Willy Leenders Hasselt in Flanders (Belgium) Visit my website about the sundials in the province of Limburg (Flanders) with a section 'worth knowing about sundials' (mostly in Dutch): http://www.wijzerweb.be Op 10-mrt-2011, om 00:13 heeft Roger W.

When it was first posted, I remember a comment by someone on this list: Most of the people stood on the label of the month, rather than on the point on the centerline to which the label referred. (Im not sure what point the pigeons went to.)

Sinnott Gesendet: Mittwoch, 9. März 2011 22:44 An: 'Sundial List' Betreff: Moscow sundial? All, I am trying to find a YouTube video that was linked to from this list several years ago. It shows a large analemmatic sundial located in a public park in Moscow (I think). Various passersby tried to figure out how it worked, where to stand, etc., and it was pretty funny. This could not have been before 2005, the year YouTube started. Anyone have the link?
