 Galileo also used the Starry Messenger to solicit patronage in his native Tuscany, naming the moons of Jupiter he had found the “Medicean” stars, in honor of the ruling Medici family. His negotiations were ultimately successful, and Galileo moved to Florence as “Chief Mathematician and Philosopher to the Grand Duke” and holder of a sinecure professorship at Pisa. His daughters moved with him and were shortly placed in the convent of Saint Matthew at Arcetri, near Florence. Vincenzo and his mother, Marina, were left behind in Venice.
