Pisa, Italy, 1589: Every market day, Massimo drops lunch down to his uncle from a bridge, timing it so the food falls into his uncle's boat. Professor Galileo, passing by one day, notices that the loaf of bread and wheel of cheese land in the boat with a single thud. But how can that be? Aristotle had said that heavy things fall at a faster rate than light ones. Will Galileo and Massimo be able to prove Aristotle's theory wrong? Author's note. Full-color illustrations done in acrylic on canvas.
