Galileo was born on 15th February 1564 in Pisa. His mum was Giulia Ammannati and his dad was Vincenzo Galilei: merchant and musician. Galileo studied in Pisa and in Florence. He studied medicine.
He was teacher of Mathematics in Padova.
He was accused of heresy by the church, because he didn't accept the authority of the Bible and the Church.
