	Cenni Storici Sedrina
		Giovanni e Paolo, ma col merito di parlare un linguaggio chiaro, immediatamente comprensibile sia per i provinciali abitanti di Sedrina, sia per il visitatore di oggi, "provinciale" suo malgrado rispetto alla cultura e ai codici di comunicazione del '500.
		Giovanni Battista, Francesco, Girolamo e Giuseppe sono disposti a semicerchio tra due ali di mura imponenti; il pavimento a lastroni che reca la firma di Lotto e sul quale tutti e quattro muovono d'istinto un passo in avanti cede bruscamente posto a una verde vallata digradante sul fondo.
		Giovanni annuncia l'arrivo del Messia: ovvero la redenzione dell'uomo e l'avvio di un'era nuova.

	Francesco M. Grimaldi, S.J.
		The astronomical work of Francesco Grimaldi was closely related to the astronomical work of another Jesuit, Giovanni Battista Riccioli who wrote the Almagestum Novum.
		Riccioli praised especially Grimaldi's ability to devise, build, and operate new observational instruments.
		With Riccioli he composed a very accurate selenograph a copy of which adorns the entrance to the National Space Museum in Washington.

		Wolf, but a study of the work shows beyond doubt that he wrote from conviction and with the desire of making known the truth.
		Riccioli's project also included a comparison of the unit of length of various nations and a more exact determination of the dimensions of the earth.
		Though of delicate health, Riccioli was an indefatigable worker and, in spite of his opposition to the Copernican theory, rendered valuable services to astronomy and also to geography and chronology.

		Dopo aver insegnato per alcuni anni teologia e filosofia, principalmente a Parma e Bologna, il Riccioli dà una svolta completa alla sua vita passando agli studi di astronomia, che a quel tempo, in conseguenza delle scoperte di Keplero e della nuova teoria di Copernico, erano fonte di grandi discussioni.
		Ha anche realizzato alcuni esperimenti con i corpi in caduta, nell'intento di confutare le teorie di Galileo sul moto della Terra: secondo Riccioli, infatti, i suoi risultati indicavano che il nostro pianeta era a riposo, ma in realtà i suoi esperimenti hanno semplicemente confermato i risultati del Galilei.
		Riccioli ha poi sritto un trattato di geografia (Geographia et hydrographia reformata), che dovrebbe raccogliere tutto lo scibile geografico del suo tempo.

	Capitolo 5 i
		Although she presents some of Urania's typical attributes (the starred gown, the belt with the constellations, the armillary sphere) the young woman appearing in the frontispiece of the Almagestum Novum by the jesuit Giovanni Battista Riccioli is not the Muse of astronomy.
		Giovanni Battista Riccioli (Ferrara 1598-1671), although he understood the depth of Copernicus' work, was a convinced supporter of the Ptolemaic system, which he defended in his Apologia contra systema Copernicanum (1699).
		Malvasia was also interested in astrology, but this did not interfere in his appreciation of Montanari's astronomical activity and in the understanding of the young talent of Gian Domenico Cassini, whom he recommended for the chair of astronomy at Bologna University, that he eventually obtained in 1650.

	Cassini family
		The most famous of the group was Giovanni Domenico Cassini who came to be known as Cassini I. Giovanni Dominico Cassini was born on the 8th June 1625 to Giacomo Cassini, a Tuscan, and Julia Crovesi (or Tullia Crovese or Croese), daughter of a Notary Public.
		Giovanni Domenico’s godparents at his christening in the Parish church in Perinaldo, San Nicolo, were Antonio Maria Crovese, his maternal uncle, and Battista Cassini.
		It is notable that, while carrying out work for Pope Alexander VII he sent a manuscript to the Jesuit Riccioli, a friend and astronomer at Bologna, dealing with the Immaculate Conception, and recommending that it be celebrated as a special feast.

	Galilaei (Lunar crater)
		Despite being the first person to perform the first astronomical observations of the moon with a telescope, Galileo Galilei is honored only with this unremarkable formation.
		The crater was named by Giovanni Battista Riccioli, an Italian Jesuit who produced one of the first map of the moon in 1651.
		However Riccioli was an opponent of the Copernican system of a heliocentric solar system, a theory that Galileo advocated.

	Riccioli, Giovanni Battista (1598-1671)
		His two-volume work includes a lunar atlas in which major craters are named after supporters of the Ptolemaic system, including Hipparchus, Brahe, and Ptolemy himself, and smaller craters after the revolutionaries, Copernicus and Aristarchus.
		The only contemporary map of the Moon of comparable quality was created by Johannes Hevelius, with whom Riccioli profoundly disagreed over the question of lunar water and life.
		Above his map, Riccioli declared, "No Man Dwell on the Moon."

		The Riccioli moon map is historically of great importance, since it provided the basis for the system of lunar nomenclature still in use.
		Riccioli's assignment of some of the brightest craters to Copernicans--Kepler, Galileo, Lansberg, and Copernicus himself--has always been a bit of a puzzle, since as a Jesuit, Riccioli staunchly upheld the doctrine of a fixed and central earth.
		He claimed to have flung the heliocentrists into the Sea of Storms (Oceanus Procellarum), but some wonder if he did not reveal here a secret fondness for the Copernican doctrine, especially since he named two nearby craters Grimaldus and Ricciolus, while other Jesuit astronomers were assigned to craters in the south, surrounding Tycho.

		In the case of a true binary, the position angle changes progressively and the distance between the two stars oscillates between a maximum and minimum.
		The first recorded discovery of a true binary star system was by Giovanni Battista Riccioli in 1650, when he found Mizar (Î¶ Ursae Majoris) was a double star.
		Since that time, the search for double stars has been carried out thoroughly and every star down to the 10th stellar magnitude has been examined.

		In 1609, Galileo Galilei drew one of the first telescopic drawings of the Moon in his book Sidereus Nuncius and noted that it was not smooth but had craters.
		Later in the 17th century, Giovanni Battista Riccioli and Francesco Maria Grimaldi drew a map of the Moon and gave many craters the names they still have today.
		On maps, the dark parts of the Moon's surface were called maria (singular mare) or "seas", and the light parts were called terrae or continents.

		Moving to Bologna was important for Cassini, since he had the opportunity to learn from two outstanding Jesuit scientists: Giovanni Battista Riccioli, an astronomer who made highly detailed telescopic observations of the Moon, and Francesco Maria Grimaldi, a physicist who discovered the diffraction of light.
		In 1650, at the age of twenty-five, Cassini became a professor of mathematics and astronomy at the university in Bologna, Italy.

	Giovanni Battista Riccioli Summary
		Riccioli also departed from traditional cosmology in two important ways: viewing the world's center as the cosmos's noblest place and making Earth more noble and perfect than any celestial body.
		Riccioli deployed these ideas in challenging Nicolaus Copernicus's claim that the Sun occupied the cosmos's geometric center.
