Galileo relics found in Florence museum display next spring
Florence officials announce the recovery of two fingers a tooth and a vertebra from Galileo Galilei that were removed from his corpse in 1737 and lost for decades. A private buyer purchased the 18th century vase concealing the relics, later authenticated by museum researchers. The artifacts will go on public display next spring.
