About Me

I was born in Pisa, Italy on February 15, 1564. My dad was Vincenzo Galilei he was a musician. My mom was Giulia degli Ammannati. I was the first of six kids. my family belonged to the nobility but was not rich. In the early 1570's, myfamily and i moved to Florence.I never got married but, i did have a brief relationship with Marina Gamba, a woman from Venice. Marina lived in my house in Padua where she had three children. My two daughters, Virginia and Livia, were both put in convents where they became Sister Maria Celeste and Sister Arcangela. In 1610, I moved from Padua to Florence where I worked at the Court of the Medici family. I left my son, Vincenzio, with Marina Gamba in Padua. In 1613, Marina married Giovanni Bartoluzzi, and Vincenzio joined me in Florence. Created with mySpace Profile Editor
