• Resumen

  • Villa Medici in Rome is one of the most impressive palaces in the city. Its name derives from the fact for a long time it was the embassy of the Grand Duke of Tuscany. After receiving in 1610 the title of "Philosopher and Chief Mathematician of the Most Serene Grand Duke of GTuscany", Galileo normally resided there during his visits to Rome. His last stay at the Villa was, however, rather unfortunate; it was in fact the period during wich his trial of 1633 was taking place. Galileo's stay on this particular occasion thus had the status of inprisonment, a privileged inprisonmnet to be sure, but a forced residence nonetheless.
