# A new Physics to support the Copernican system. Gleanings from Galileo's works

## TL;DR

This paper explores Galileo's pivotal role in supporting the Copernican system, analyzing his early influences, key works, and subsequent developments that contributed to revolutionary astronomical discoveries.

## Contribution

It provides a detailed historical analysis of Galileo's conversion to Copernican theory and examines the origins and impact of his influential works.

## Key findings

- Galileo's support was crucial for Copernican acceptance
- Analysis of 'Dialogo de Cecco di Ronchitti' highlights early advocacy
- Galileo's later works advanced astronomical understanding

## Abstract

Galileo's support to the Copernican theory was decisive for the revolutionary astronomical discoveries he achieved in 1610. We trace the origins of Galileo's conversion to the Copernican theory, discussing in particular the "Dialogo de Cecco di Ronchitti da Bruzene in perpuosito de La Stella Nuova". Later developments of Galileo's works are briefly treated.
