TL;DR: The STREGA (STRucture and Evolution of the GAlaxy) survey as discussed by the authors is a Guaranteed Time survey being performed at the VST (the ESO VLT Survey Telescope) to map about 150 square degrees in the Galactic halo, in order to constrain the mechanisms of galactic formation and evolution.
