Description of Artwork: Dialogo sopra i due Massimi Sistemi del Mondo(Dialogue concerning the Two Chief World Systems Ptolemaic and Copernican) is an unabashed plea for the Copernican system.

By way of penance he was enjoined to recite once a week for three years the seven penitential psalms, although he felt "that Holy Writ was intended to teach men how to go to Heaven, not how the heavens go". 1642: On Galileo's death, his common-law wife submitted his manuscripts on telescopic and pendulum inventions to her confessor who subsequently destroyed them as heretical.
