Definition of costellazoni
The stars make up designs in the night sky that never change, these are the constellations.
In ancient times men named them as Swan, Scorpio, Chariot, Orion, hunting dogs because the drawings reminded animals, familiar objects, people or gods.
We still use the same names for the constellations.
Sometimes the names are in Latin. The Swan, for example, is Cygnus and the Scorpion is Scorpius.
