Born in Pisa in 1564 and die in 1642.

His father, Vincenzo Galilei, figured prominently in the music.

Taught by monks at Vallombroso.

 Galileo Galilei was an astronomer, philosopher, Italian mathematician and physicist who is closely

associated with the scientific revolution.

• It has been considered the "father of modern astronomy", the "father of modern physics" and the "father of science”.

His work is considered a breach of the settled of Aristotelian physics and its confrontation with the Inquisition of the Roman Catholic Church is usually

presented as the best example of conflict between religion and science in Western society.

Galileo Galilei is a great mathematician and physical scientist excel in other areas leaves us a

legacy different thoughts and elements for the present and introduces us to different science

topics.
