Hi Eric,
I'm glad I got your response. I'm interested in corresponding with a prisoner because I think it might give him some relief. I think it could be for both of us nice for both of us to talk to a person who live in another country and continent.
I am happy to hear that you like Italian food which is internationally considered one of the best in the world.
Lamborghini is one of the most beautiful sport cars in Italy, only rich people can afford to buy one.

Today I would like to talk to you about the scientist Galileo Galilei, since you told me that you talked to your pen pal. Galileo was born in Pisa in 1564 and began studying medicine at the University of his city in 1580, before choosing to specialize in mathematics in 1583. Galileo remained in Pisa until 1585, where he also studied physics and where he made his first discovery: it is said that by observing the lamp on the ceiling of the Pisa Cathedral he discovered the isochronism of the pendulum's oscillations. From 1589 he taught in Pisa and in 1592 he was called to the University of Padua, where he was a professor until 1610.
In his studio in Padua, Galileo created a small workshop in which he performed experiments and manufactured instruments that he sold to supplement his salary. Here, in 1593, he invented the machine for raising water to higher levels, which was used in Venice. Between 1604 and 1609, he built and perfected the telescope, an instrument invented in Holland, which Galileo used for the first time to observe the stars. He acquired precise information on the surface of the moon, establishing that it had irregularities. He studied the Milky Way, which turned out to be a set of very distant stars, which expanded the boundaries of the universe. He discovered the four largest satellites of Jupiter, observing that planets can also have satellites. Galileo Galilei adhered to Kepler's ideas on the movements of the planets, including the one according to which the Earth rotated on itself. He also supported the heliocentric theory enunciated in 1543 by the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, according to which the Sun, but not the Earth, was at the centre of the system with the planets revolving around it in a revolutionary motion.
In 1633 the Inquisition called and the trial began during which Galileo tried to explain, without success, his reasons to the Church, which did not accept the idea that the earth revolved around the sun because it contradicted what was written in the Bible. On June 22, 1633 he abjured his theories, with which he disavowed the discoveries made and the Copernican theory, and was condemned to exile in Arcetri, where he died in 1642.
Best regards.
