Influence after death

In the first part of the Galileo walking tour, in Florence, we visited places like the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, Palazzo Pitti, Galileo's house at the end of his life, and the Bastica di Santa Core. The bastica was the most interesting place for me. There in this beautiful Basilica rested the tombs of six people (actually seven people resting). Two are Galileo and his daughter. Seeing his tomb refined my understanding of how important Galileo was. As that basilica was not the first resting place of Galileo, but was put there a lifetime after he had died. Galileo was put in a unmarked grave outside of town with his daughter because of his run ins with the church. Thanks to friends of Galileo, his grave location remained known. Not until the church renounced their objections against Galileo many years later  was he placed in this beautiful Basilica. Since Galileo was already buried with his daughter, they decide to rebury him with her in the Basilica.
