Galileo's father, Vincenzo Galilei, was a musician who encouraged his son to study and appreciate mathematics and science, which likely influenced Galileo's later interest in astronomy and physics. Vincenzo also pushed Galileo to attend the University of Pisa, where he began his study of mathematics and natural philosophy.
He made many experiments and observations in the field of physics in general.
