Where did Francesco Redi live?

Francesco Redi was an Italian physician who in 1668 proposed a different hypothesis for the appearance of maggots from meat than spontaneous generation, formed by the Greek philosepher Aristotle. He tested his hypothesis by using a covered jar of meat and an uncovered jar of meat and concluded that maggots appeared because of the flies. wrrd

What did Francesco Redi discover?

Francesco Redi did an experiment in 1668 that disproved a belief that maggots spontaneously generated on rotting meat. His experiment was to place meat into sets of jars: one set he left open to the air, one set he covered with very fine gauze, one set was completely sealed. Maggots appeared on the meat in the open jars; flies laid eggs on the gauze but no maggots appeared because the scent of rotting meat provides no nourishment; nothing appeared on the meat in the completely sealed jars. Redi believed in spontaneous generation of many things, just not fly maggots. He is credited with beginning the experiments using controls method used now.


What was Redi's theory?

Redi's theory, known as spontaneous generation, proposed that living organisms could arise from nonliving matter. In his famous experiment with the meat and fly larvae, Redi demonstrated that maggots do not spontaneously generate on rotting meat but instead come from eggs laid by flies. This experiment helped to disprove the idea of spontaneous generation.
