			===Early Life===

			Galileo Galilei was born on February 15, 1564 in Pisa,Italy to Vincenzo Galilei and Giulia Ammanati. He was the first-born of six children. The Galilei's were a musical family, as Vincenzo Galilei was a famous lutenist and composer. At age 8, Galileo's family moved to Florence while Galileo stayed behind with a relative. He joined them at age 10 and was sent by his parents to a monastery at Vallombrosa. Galileo enjoyed the monk life, which did not please his father who urged him to become a medical doctor. He was eventually sent back to Pisa to enroll for a medical degree at the University of Pisa. Galileo was not particularly interested in medicine and so he became distracted by mathematics, continuing to study mathematics over his summers and eventually becoming a mathematics professor.

			Galileo met a Venetian woman named Maria Gamba, who he had three children with out of wedlock. He never married Maria and worried that his two daughters would never marry as well so he entered them into a convent. His son's birth eventually became a successful musician.

			===Death===

			Galileo died on January 8, 1642 in Arcetri, Italy from a fever and heart palpitations. Although the church banned works supporting the Copernican theory, they eventually lifted those bans and became accepting of heliocentrism. In the 20th century, many popes acknowledged Galileo's work as revolutionary and critical to modern science, earning him the title "The Father of Modern Science."
