  A brief review is given of some recent positive developments regarding the
reception of archaeoastronomy by the archaeological institutions in Italy.
Discussions and problems that are currently going on in this field are also
mentioned, such as the separation of the scientific and humanistic disciplines
(i.e. the two cultures problem). Suggestions based on contemporary philosophy
are also reported. Finally, sky-gazing is proposed as the place where the two
cultures could meet, since, taking Plato into account, sky-gazing could be
considered the mom of the human knowledge, and of the scientific and humanistic
disciplines.
