Castelli, one of Galileo’s most important pupils, not only extended and disseminated Galileo’s work and methods, but defended him in his two periods of crisis.
Castelli was appointed professor of mathematics at the University of Pisa on Galileo’s recommendation.
Castelli’s correspondence shows quite clearly that his studies of hydraulics were chiefly of an experimental character.

 Evangelista Torricelli
Left fatherless at an early age, he was educated under the care of his uncle, a Camaldolese monk, who in 1627 sent him to Rome to study science under the Benedictine Benedetto Castelli[?] (1577—1644), professor of mathematics at the Collegio di Sapienza[?].
Its communication by Castelli to Galileo in 1641, with a proposal that Torricelli should reside with him, led to Torricelli repairing to Florence, where he met Galileo, and acted as his amanuensis during the three remaining months of his life.
After Galileo's death Torricelli was nominated grand-ducal mathematician and professor of mathematics in the Florentine academy[?].

 Torricelli biography
Castelli was so impressed that he wrote to Galileo himself, at this time living in his home in Arcetri near Florence, watched over by officers from the Inquisition.
In April 1641 Castelli travelled from Rome to Venice and, on the way, stopped in Arcetri to give Galileo a copy of Torricelli's manuscript and suggest that he employed him as an assistant.
After neither Castelli nor Michelangelo Ricci would undertake the task and although Viviani did agree to prepare the material for publication he failed to accomplish the task.

Castelli (1578-1643) taught mathematics in Rome, and made important studies in photometry, thermal absorption of colors, vision & perception, the camera obscura, and telescope diaphragms as stops (anticipating Hevelius' more thorough analysis).
Castelli was a student of Galileo, and wrote to him on projection techniques for observing the sun, including solar drawings made by projection onto a circle of standard diameter.
Castelli had begun keeping an accurate record of the movement of sunspots, at some point beginning a collaboration with Galileo, and had marked the disk into 15 parts, progressive measurements showing that the movement of sunspots was proportional to the versed sine (one minus the cosine) of their equal arcs.

However he was drawn into the controversy by Castelli, a supporter of Copernicanism, who had been a student of Galileo.
At a meeting in the Medici palace in Florence in 1613, Castelli was asked to explain the apparent contradiction between the Copernican theory and Holy Scripture.
Castelli defended the Copernican position and wrote to Galileo who responded by writing an essay, LETTER TO CASTELLI, in which he argued that the Bible had to be interpreted in the light of what science had shown to be true.

One letter from Galileo to Castelli in 1613, offering his views on matters theological and Copernican, became key evidence leading to his 1616 admonition.
That same year, Castelli received an appointment as a professor of mathematics at the University of Pisa.

This allowed him to eventually be taught by Benedetto Castelli, who taught at the University of Sapienza in Rome.
While under Castelli's tutelage, Evangalista was taught mathematics, mechanics, hydraulics, and astronomy and held the post of Castelli's secretary from 1626-1632.
Interestingly enough, Torricelli was a strong supporter of Galileo and even wrote to the famous man. Torricelli had a passion for astronomy, but dying over such controversial issues as brought up by this study was not something he had in his plans.

 A New View Of Mizar
Benedetto Castelli (1578 – 1643), a student of Galileo Galilei at Padua and later his devoted friend who succeeded him in the chair of mathematics at the University of Pisa, was most likely the person who first resolved Mizar (Zeta UMa) with a telescope.
[8] Ten years later, in the summer 1627, by which time Castelli was called to Rome by Pope Urban VIII as a consultant on the regulation of rivers, he revealed the 5th-magnitude companion of Beta Scorpii [9] (today separated by 13.7 arcseconds from the 2.6-magnitude primary).
Castelli didn't write in the letters to Galileo (no reply from Florence survived, unfortunately) about their aims openly, but one can imagine that he preferred to discuss that in person.

 Padre Benedetto Castelli
Nacque da Alda e Annibale da Castello o Castelli nell’anno 1587 in un luogo presumibilmente vicino a Brescia e incominciò la sua professione monastica nel Monastero di S. Faustino Maggiore in Brescia il 4 Settembre 1595 (1).
Il 19 Aprile dell’anno 1643 Padre Benedetto Castelli morì a Roma nel Monastero di S. Callisto in Trastevere, circa un anno dopo la morte del suo sommo Maestro.
Dopo questa trattazione sulla vita e le opere dell’Abbate Cassinese Benedetto Castelli appare inutile qualsiasi ulteriore commento e non rimane altro da sottolineare se non che fu uno dei più illustri scienziati del secolo XVII e a tutt’oggi non solo è l’orgoglio di tutto l’Ordine Benedettino ma lo è anche dell’Italia e della Scienza.

Torricelli was born near Ravenna, Italy, to relatively poor parents, who upon recognizing remarkable intelligence placed him under the care of his uncle, a Camaldolese monk, for his early education.
After that he studied mathematics and philosophy at a Jesuit College until he took up residence in Rome, where he worked as secretary to University of Rome professor Benedetto Castelli, who tutored him in mathematics, mechanics, hydraulics and astronomy.
Castelli also had Torricelli to teach his classes whenever he was absent from Rome.

There is only one truth, and if a truth of science appears to contradict something in Scripture, then it means that we do not fully understand one or the other.
Galileo was unwilling to accept this advice, being convinced (although without the solid proofs that would come only long after he was dead) of the physical reality of the Copernican model, and also unwilling to be quiet.
