He was also a great father. He let his son follow his own interests and we can all be thankful for that!

Vincenzo Galilei 1520 - 1591 an Italian lutenist, composer, and music theorist, and the father of Galileo Galilei and of the lute virtuoso and composer Michelagnolo Galilei. He was a seminal figure in the musical life of the late Renaissance and contributed significantly to the musical revolution which demarcates the beginning of the Baroque era.... Vincenzo, in his study of pitch and string tension, produced perhaps the first non-linear mathematical description of a natural phenomenon known to history It was an extension of a Pythagorean tradition but went beyond it. Many scholars credit him with directing the activity of his son away towards mathematical quantitative description of the results, a direction of utmost importance for the history of physics and natural science in general.

Merci, Rachel pour cette magnifique musique avec, si je ne me trompe, en toile de fond, le beau tableau d'Evaristo Baschenis.

Il padre di Galileo era un liutaio oltre che compositore e musicista :

This seems somewhat similar to the song Melodies of Life, which was composed by Nobuo Uematsu for the video game Final Fantasy IX. I wonder which this served as inspiration. Likely it's just a coincidence....

Why is this music called venetian? As much other italian music, It was published in Venice, but not composed there.
