Hi
Looks like this is his homepage:
http://www.retrocomputing.net/
Looks like he has both an 11/780 (though it looks to be in pieces) and a 390.
Impressive collection.

Alberto Rubinelli has a warehouse full of machines (8134 that have been
catalogued and maybe 4000 more that are yet to be catalogued). The article
mentions a VAX-11/780 and and an "IBM 390", but no pictures of either.
There's a Laptop Grid Computer 1520 but it's not quite clear whether it is
one that flew on the shuttle or just the same type as one that did.
His aim is to have them all running and to open a museum.
