Filippo Vincenzo Romolo Salviati (29 January 1583 (Florence) – 22 March 1614 (Barcelona)) was an Italian nobleman, scientist and friend of Galileo.[1] He is remembered today mainly because he appears as one of the figures in Galileo's controversial work the Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems (1632).[2][3]
