Paolo Rossi’s Francis Bacon: From Magic to Science provides a discussion on the works of Bacon and his attempt to mold the scientific philosophy during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
Rossi re-examines Bacon’s works along side the works of his contemporaries in order to understand his philosophy and his aims as a scientist as they pertain to the development and change of scientific thought.
According to Rossi, “five of Bacon’s thirty-nine philosophical works are either directly concerned with the problem of a hidden wisdom in classical myths and fables, or at least refer to it explicitly” (80).

When Paolo talks, he has the look of an inquisitive, twisted little bird, his head curling up from a permanent crouch, a big loose happy grin breaking out on his face.
Paolo certainly is a super kid -- as we and Gianni will learn -- but he's also the kind of child who is often neglected, even ridiculed.
Rossi is himself disabled (he's also, in real life, a champion swimmer in his division), and this heightens our response to him.
