Confusion With Marina Bartoluzzi
Marina Gamba is often confused with Marina Bartoluzzi, who looked after little Vincenzo while Galileo was getting settled in Florence, resorting to the sale of a lute to pay for her services. She was long believed to have remarried a certain Giovanni Bartoluzzi, but it has been proven that they were two different persons.
Marina Gamba is probably the Venetian Marina, 42 years of age who was said to have died on 21 August 1612, in the parish of San Daniele.

Famous quotes containing the word confusion:
“The confusion of emotions with behavior causes no end of unnecessary trouble to both adults and children. Behavior can be commanded; emotions cant. An adult can put controls on a childs behaviorat least part of the timebut how do you put controls on what a child feels? An adult can impose controls on his own behaviorif hes grown upbut how does he order what he feels?”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
