Yep, WIDN62 has it!

The mountains in the background are the Apuan Alps, a sideways spur of the Apennines. The not-quite-perpendicular historical architecture being of course the famous Campanile of the local cathedral.
My next clue was going to be something to do with telescopes (the airfield is named after Galileo Galilei). As with many airports in Italy there are several weekly connections to Romania due to the large amount of Romanians living and working in Italy.
As well as a commercial airfield , it's a large Aeronautica Militare base, although I was surprised to see this Pakistan Air Force C130 there. I photographed it through the window of my Easyjet flight back to Gatwick.

Casa aperta
