Abstract: WWW, its interfaces and tools, can represent a big opportunity to solve some historical problems of the astronomers. After a description of the state of the Italian Astronomy and Astrophysics environment, with special emphasis to the network usage and to the development of two challenging new technology telescopes, some of the more important (for us) topics are discussed. Several of the major points described in this paper have been outlined and exposed by several authors during a recent Workshop devoted to the first experiments with WWW in the Italian Astronomical Observatories. The application to a very promising field, the astronomical archives, and its fall-out on the organization of the work in observational astronomy is finally discussed.
