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:
“My grandmother stood among her kettles and ladles.
Smiling, in faulty grammar,
She praised my fortune and urged my lofty career.
So to please her I studied—but I will remember always
How she poured confusion out, how she cooled and labeled
All the wild sauces of the brimming year.”
—Mary Oliver (b. 1935)
