Abstract: L’opera del poligrafo senese Teofilo Gallaccini (1564-1641) costituisce un archivio privato pressoché integro riguardante le scienze, l’architettura e le arti, la medicina e le lettere. L’autrice esamina il suo pensiero sullo sfondo degli eventi contemporanei e le tematiche con cui interagì – dalle scoperte astronomiche di Galileo al dibattito artistico nella Roma di Urbano VIII e Alessandro VII. Ingegno poliedrico, Gallaccini getta luce sul lavoro intellettuale e i suoi ambiti all’alba della Rivoluzione scientifica.Teofilo Gallaccini’s (1564-1641) oeuvre represents a nearly intact personal archive covering the sciences, architecture and the arts, medicine and letters. This book examines his thought against the panorama of contemporary events and issues with which he interacted closely – from the astronomical discoveries and condemnation of Galileo to the artistic debates in the Rome of Urban VIII and Alexander VII. A «go-between» disciplines Gallaccini illuminates the nature of intellectual labor and its sites on the eve of the Scientific Revolution. / Teofilo Gallaccini’s (1564-1641) oeuvre represents a nearly intact personal archive covering the sciences, architecture and the arts, medicine and letters.
