In honour of these events, a beautiful mural was recently unveiled in Pisa, featuring Galileo using a telescope shaped like the famous tower to observe the vastness of the universe. Galileo Galilei is an important figure in the scientific community and a hero to many Italians. He is credited with pioneering the use of equipment for astronomical observation and was the first to identify four natural satellites of Jupiter, known as the Galilean moons. His contributions to science and astronomy have had a significant impact on our understanding of the universe.
