Galileo wore on he became more concerned and eventually determined to go to Rome as soon as his health permitted
Time: 1615
Place: Italy
Details: Galileo soon heard reports that Lorini had obtained a copy of his letter to Castelli and was claiming that it contained many heresies. He also heard that Caccini had gone to Rome and suspected him of trying to stir up trouble with Lorini's copy of the letter. As 1615 wore on he became more concerned, and eventually determined to go to Rome as soon as his health permitted, which it did at the end of the year. By presenting his case there, he hoped to clear his name of any suspicion of heresy, and to persuade the Church authorities not to suppress heliocentric ideas.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
