Acknowledgements/Ringraziamenti

I am grateful to my supervisors, Prof. Antonio Saggion, Prof. Erik Høg and Prof. Pier Luigi Bernacca, for guidance, advice and help. A particular thank-you goes to Prof. Erik Høg for developing the original ideas that led to this study as well as for his kindness during my stay in Copenhagen. I would also like to thank the GAIA Group in Copenhagen for useful suggestions and discussions, Prof. Lennart Lindegren and Dr. Anthony Brown for kindly providing their programs and Dr. Enrico Corsini for commenting on Chapter 4.

The hospitality of the Astronomical Observatory of the University of Copenhagen and of the Asiago Astrophysical Observatory of the University of Padova is gratefully acknowledged.

For economical support during my stay in Copenhagen I acknowledge a Socrates-Erasmus scholarship. ``Redibio Plenior''.



In ordine approssimativamente cronologico, vorrei poi ringraziare: Un affettuoso ringraziamento va infine alle ``mie'' macchine, ursa.astro.ku.dk a Copenaghen e skoll.pd.astro.it ad Asiago, che hanno visto la faticosa nascita di questa tesi.
