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:
“There is ... no glamor at banquets—I mean the large formal banquets of big associations and societies. There is only a kind of dignified confusion that gradually unhinges the mind.”
