On an ordinary day, Galileo encounters Massimo dropping food from a bridgeto his uncle passing below in his boat. He is surprised to realize thatboth the bread and the cheese hit the boat at the same time, eventhough they differ in weight. Galileo takes an interest inMassimos cleverness, and together, in a series of experiments, the twoinvestigate the science of motion and demonstrate their new theory(that every object falls at the same speed) to the people of the town. Even though Massimo is fictitious, the story demonstrates one ofGalileo s most famous experiments and explains to young readers one ofthe basic concepts of physics.

When the great scientist and professor Galileo meets a bright farm boy, Massimo, the teacher becomes the student. On an ordinary day, Galileo encounters Massimo dropping food from a bridge to his uncle passing below in his boat. This simple action makes Galileo rethink Aristotle’s teachings.

Kids will love this lively reimagining of Galileo’s Leaning Tower experiment and be encouraged by Massimo’s eagerness to learn. With curiosity and a willing teacher, anyone can be a scientist.
