Twenty-five years have passed since the inauguration of the TNG, when a dream materialized. At that time many astronomers often traveled to Chile to observe. The TNG appeared halfway and welcomed many of their programs, progressively renewing the offer of instruments to keep Italian astronomy at the science forefront. In a scenario that is more and more populated by new facilities, the TNG proudly continues on the same track, wanting to remain a solid point of reference.
