However Galileo, still reluctant to study medicine, invited Ricci (also in Florence where the Tuscan court spent the summer and autumn) to his home to meet his father. Ricci tried to persuade Vincenzo to allow his son to study mathematics since this was where his interests lay.
Subalit Galileo, nag-uurong-sulong pa rin sa pag-aaral ng gamot, inimbitahan Ricci (din sa Florence na kung saan ang Toskano hukuman na ginugol ng tag-init at taglagas) sa kanyang tahanan upang matugunan ang kanyang ama. Ricci tried sa amuki Vincenzo upang payagan ang kanyang anak sa pag-aaral sa matematika dahil ito ay kung saan ang kanyang interes na mag-ipon.
