Nicolaus Copernicus, in his book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres, published in 1543), first showed that the earth revolves around the sun. However, he was Polish, not Italian. Galileo Galilei (born 1564 in Italy) started publicly supporting the heliocentric theory in 1610, which he backed up with observations through his telescope.
The theory that the earth revolves around the sun is heliocentrism.
1.The earth is round.
The astronomer Copernicus publicly stated in the 1500s that Earth revolves around the Sun, contrary to the prevailing belief at the time that the Earth was the center of the universe. This heliocentric model laid the foundation for modern astronomy and challenged the geocentric view established by Ptolemy.

That the Earth is round was known to ancient cultures but this knowledge was suppressed in Europe, mainly by the Catholic Church whose dogma insisted that Earth was the centre of the cosmos and lay under Heaven and above Hell. This is surprising since some of the best thinkers in Europe were clerics and monks within the Catholic Church.
It was the Italian Galileo who poved that the earth rotates round the sun.

The astronomer Copernicus publicly stated in the 1500s that Earth revolves around the Sun, contrary to the prevailing belief at the time that the Earth was the center of the universe.

The Earth describes and ellipse as it revolves round the Sun (all planets do).
Galileo Galilei
In the Dark Age of Science, it was believed that Earth was in the center of Solar System and all the planets including sun, revolve round the sun. This is called Geocentric Theory.Nicolas Copernicus, A Polish*Astronomer, proved that earth and other planets revolved round the sun. This is Heliocentric Theory.(Copernicus proposed the Heliocentric Theory in 1543, 64 years before the invention of telescope. I was all the work of his Mathematics.)_________________________________________________________________* Polish Astronomer is an Astronomer from Poland
