What was Galileo 's Nationallity?

Answer 1

Galileo Galilei was born in what is now Italy, did almost all of his work there, and spoke the Italian language in everyday life. However, in his day, the concept of Italy as a national identity was very rare. In the same way that people today refer to themselves as "French" as opposed to "European," people in the 1600s would refer to themselves as Venetians or Florentines or Pisans. Galileo was born and raised in Pisa, and did most of his studies in Pisa and Florence.
