One of the more intriguing among them was Ilario Altobelli (1560-1637), a friend of Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), mentioned by Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) and other famous modern astronomers. In his works, Altobelli reveals to know the most important astronomical questions of his time but he seems to maintain a scientific and open mind when he indirectly comparing different world systems, without deciding for a definitive choose because of the absence of true demonstrations. |
