The historical
background of the discovery
The XVII and
XVIII century was a great period of development of the economy. Universities,
academies and libraries were born. Redi and Spallanzani contributed
to the evolution of science of that period. But for all the 17th century
every new discovery, that it could change the life and the old ideas,
came hindered by the "Inquisizione" also for means of tortures
until the scientist had not renounced the him discoveries. Like Galileo
Galilei, scientist of the '600, he discovered that the planets, comprised
the Earth, turn around the Sun. Galilei was carried to Rome where the
Inquisizione made it to renounce its theory. Together to the economy
the bourgeoisie (merchants, craftsmen, bankers...) developed and the
absolute monarchies in the countries of the North Europe consolidated,
mostly of protestant religion.
