Storyline<\/h3>\n

Galileo Galilei is a professor of physics at Padoa\u2019s University where Giordano Bruno\u2019s ground-breaking ideas are embraced.<\/p>\n

By using a rudimentary telescope he studies the movements of the planets and is convinced that the center of our system is the sun and not the earth.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s invited to Rome to explain his theories and studies. He will be asked by Cardinal Bellarmino and the Pope himself to put an end to his research because he\u2019s under suspicion of being heretical.<\/p>\n

But on his return to Florence he continues and publishes a book. His book is confiscated and Galileo is arrested. He\u2019s interrogated by the Inquisition and, under threat of torture, signs a solemn abjuration. <\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
