Saturn was the first planet discovered to have rings. They were first observed by Galileo Galilei in 1610 through his telescope.

Galileo worked in Italy. He did not discover Saturn, it was known to ancient astronomers, but he discover the rings, with his telescope. He wanted to keep the discovery secret, but at the same time he wanted to claim the credit for the discovery, so he published the announcement in the form of a Latin anagram.
He discovered that Saturn has rings and he discovered Jupiter's four largest moons.
