  • Marina Gamba of Venice was the mother of three of Galileo Galilei's illegitimate children. During one of his frequent trips to Venice, Galileo met a young woman named Marina di Andrea Gamba, with whom he entered into a relationship. Marina Gamba moved into Galileo's house in Padua and bore him three children, Virginia, later Sister Maria Celeste; Livia (born 1601), later Sister Arcangela; and Vincenzo (born 1606). In none of the three baptismal records is Galileo named as the father. In the case of Virginia, she was described as "daughter by fornication of Marina of Venice," with no mention of the father; on Livia's baptismal record the name of the father was left blank; and on Vincenzo's baptismal record "father uncertain" ("Galileo's Daughter" 24, Dava Sobel, 1999) When Galileo left Padua for good to take up his position at the Medici court in Florence, in 1610, he took the two daughters with him but left Marina Gamba behind with Vincenzo, who was then only four years old. Vincenzo joined Galileo in Florence a few years later. In 1613, Marina Gamba married Giovanni Bartoluzzi. It appears that Galileo kept cordial relations with Gamba and Bartoluzzi. Galileo put his two daughters in a convent where they were to become nuns and therefore would not get married. He managed to have Vincenzo legitimated by the Grand Duke of Tuscany.
  • Marina Gamba fue la madre de los primeros hijos de Galileo Galilei. Juntos tuvieron tres hijos: Virginia Gamba, conocida como la hermana María Celeste, nació el 16 de agosto de 1600. Livia Gamba, segunda hija. Vincenzio Gamba.
  • Marina Gamba venetsialainen oli Galileo Galilein kolmen aviottoman lapsen äiti. Yhdellä lukuisista käynneistään Venetsiassa Galilei tapasi Marina di Andrea Gamba nimisen nuoren naisen. Marina Gamba muutti Galilein Padovan asuntoon ja synnytti hänelle kolme lasta. Lapset olivat Virginia, myöhemmin sisar Maria Celeste; Livia, myöhemmin sisar Arcangela ja Vincenzio. Kenenkään kolmen kastetodistuksessa ei mainita Galileita isäksi. Virginia on merkitty Mariana Venetsialaisen haureuden tuotteeksi, Livian isää ei ole merkitty lainkaan ja Vinzeszion isä on merkitty epäselväksi. Kun Galilei jätti Padovan lopullisesti ottaakseen vastaan paikan Medicien hovissa Firenzessä 1610 hän otti kaksi tytärtään mukaansa mutta jätti Maria Gamban ja neljä vuotiaan Vincezion. Muutama vuosi myöhemmin Vincenziokin muutti Firenzeen. 1613 Mariana Gamba nai Giovanni Bartoluzzin. Galilei piti kuitenkin ilmeisesti hyvät yhteydet Marianaan ja Bartoluzziin. Galilei laittoi tyttärensä luostariin. Hänellä ei olisi ollut varaa tyttäriensä myötäjäisiin.
