I listen to Galileo by John L. Heilbron. Below are two interesting facts
from the book together with links that I have found in Internet.
1) Galileo about Inferno
Galileo has started his scientific career with a speech about how
Inferno looks like where he has applied his mathematical genius to find
out which theory was the correct one.
Two Lectures to the Florentine Academy On the Shape, Location and Size
of Dante’s Inferno by Galileo Galilei, 1588

2) Galileo against clothes
Galileo has a poem poem “Against the Donning of Gown”
"I now conclude, and turn to you, signor,
And force you to confess, against your will,
The Greatest Good will be all clothes to abhor"
