At the beginning of 1980 the Istituto di Radioastronomia of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (C.N.R.) started the Italian VLBI Project.

The first antenna was completed in October 1983 (see Table 1 for telescope characteristics). The first VLBI Mark2 experiment was performed in March 1984. In December 1984 we had the first Mark3 experiment. From that time our Institute is officially member of the European VLBI Network (EVN) and since January 1986 it is also Associate Member of the US Network.
