This article is a bit late, I guess the show has already opened by now. But I can’t see how parading Galileo’s remains can be seen as anything but a despicable show of disrespect.
“The laymen and masons that were attending the ceremony thought that
they should have some souvenir of Galileo’s body,” Paolo Galluzzi,
director of Florence’s Galileo Museum, told Reuters in an interview.“They thought that having a piece of the man would have been a homage to
his tradition. The idea of having relics of science is very similar, is
a mirror of the relics of religion,” he said.
What a tremendous shame. One of the greatest minds that ever lived has a portion of his body on display, ogled by crowds as a carnival freakshow. While we are at it, I offer the following video to the organizers of this show as an equally classy show of behavior: chimpanzee facefucks a frog.
