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 is not my invention. We cannot listen to a conversation for five minutes without being aware of the confusion. It is all around us and our only chance now is to let it in. The only chance of renovation is to open our eyes and see the mess. It is not a mess you can make sense of.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
