The_Father_Of_Modern_Science

The Father Of Modern Science Galileo Galilei was born on about February 1564 in Pisa. Galileo’s father was an extremely talented musician who wanted his son to become a doctor, but chose a different field of study, science. Galileo was a gifted mathematician and became a chair man of mathematics at Pisa when he was only 25 years old. Galileo never got married but he had three children: two daughters- Virginia and Livia and one son- Vincenzo. Although Galileo was married to his science he still loved his children just as much. Galileo loved them so much that he took them with him when he moved to Florence and left his girl friend, moving on to the position of “chief mathematician and philosopher”. Galileo didn’t have enough financial support to keep his daughters so he sent them off to a convent. Virginia changed her name to Suor Marie Celeste and was said to be the closest one to his heart. This is said because of extensive letters written by her to Galileo, in these she shows her love and devotion. Galileo’s son amazingly became a lawyer and helped take care of his father as he got older.
