| Titolo: | Between matematici and architetti d'acque [Risorsa elettronica] : Vincenzo Viviani, Galileo's legacy, and hydraulic engineering / Francesco Barreca. |
| Abstract: | For a long time, Vincenzo Viviani has been regarded by historians in the light of his devotion to Galileo. However, while saying that Galileo had a great influence on Viviani might seem to be an understatement, it should not be forgotten that after Galileo's death Viviani carved out a career of his own, and that he devoted almost all his life to a specific field - engineering - which often forced him to relax his allegedly strict Galilean beliefs. In particular, his apprenticeship under the guidance of Baccio del Bianco and the years he spent as an assistant engineer for the Capitani di parte Guelfa (before being appointed as Primo Ingegnere) allowed him to become a member of the narrow circle of versatile craftsmen who place themselves halfway between the matematici and the architetti d'acque. This circumstance contributed to shape both Viviani's peculiar approach to hydraulic engineering and his role in the process of institutionalisation of Galilean science |
