Abstract: It is shown that the moduli space of the noncommutative tori $ {\mathbb{A}}_{\theta}$ admits a natural desingularization by the group $ Ext~ ({\mathbb{A}}_{\theta},{\mathbb{A}}_{\theta})$. Namely, we prove that the moduli space of pairs $ ({\mathbb{A}}_{\theta}, Ext~ ({\mathbb{A}}_{\theta},{\mathbb{A}}_{\theta}))$ is homeomorphic to a punctured two-dimensional sphere. The proof is based on a correspondence (a covariant functor) between the complex and noncommutative tori.
