A device for the spherical orientation of an optical element is provided comprising a support structure, the optical element having an optically useful surface adapted to interact with an incident light beam, a mechanism mounted on support structure and capable of rotating the optical element in space around a first and second rotation axis perpendicular to each other. The mechanism comprises a first rotating assembly around the first rotation axis and a second rotating assembly around the second rotation axis, which first rotating assembly has a through cavity defined around the first rotation axis, the through cavity being adapted to be crossed by the light beam and facing the optical element. The mechanism comprises at least a first electromagnetic actuator arranged to rotate the first rotating assembly and at least a second electromagnetic actuator arranged to rotate the second rotating assembly.
