Arcetri


Arcetri, originally uploaded by sucra88.

Arcetri is a small town in Italy where Galileo and his adult daughter Maria Celeste lived within walking distance of one another. One might think that she, a Catholic nun, and he, a scientist/philosopher, may have thought vastly different things when gazing up at the moon. Not so. They thought of each other, of God's magnificent skies, of everyday minutiae.
