Galileo invented modern science. He built countless instruments and made a spectacle with his experiments. He discovered a thousand things: the mountains of the moon, the satellites of Jupiter and sunspots. He was also a successful inventor, and with his geometric military compass he made a decent fortune. In this book Galileo recounts his life in the first person, from when little boy in Pisa learned to play the flute and organ in the family (but what a hunger!), to old age, confined by the Inquisition in the House of Arcetri, where, though blind, he did not lose the taste of Research and controversy, surrounded by friends and students. It was a man of his time and his time he lived all the vicissitudes: the new ideas that spread in Europe, the experimentation of new techniques, the friendships with other intellectuals, but also the clash with the official doctrine, the life of court, the plague... Age of reading: from 8 years.
