ST. CATHERINE DE RICCI
(1522 - 1590) Prioress of the Dominican Convent of San Vincenzo,
Prato.
One proof of her faith was a coral ring which appeared on her
finger during
spiritual raptures when she relived Christ’s
passion. She offered
advice and counsel both in person and by letter
and was considered uncommonly
effective in her work. She was beatified
under Cardinal Prospero Lambertini’s
sponsorship, who later
became Pope Benedict XIV.

relativity. Einstein had several false starts until he studied
Ricci’s
work and realized it was the foundation he needed.
LORENZO RICCI
- (1703-1775)
Leader of the Jesuits from 1758 until his death while

of the order’s missionary ventures and
promulgation of
"heretic" scientific endeavors. Once his protector, Pope Clement
XIII died, Lorenzo along with his staff were imprisoned in an attempt to crush
the order.
Lorenzo died two years later in Castel Sant’ Angelo in Rome.

MASSIMO RICCI
(1946 - ) was born in 1946 and is an Architect and instructor at the
University
of Florence. The cupola of Santa Maria Del Fiore of
Florence is the largest
existing brick structure in the world. The
size of the dome required a
new construction method, which
Brunelleschi proposed, but insisted on
keeping secret. Since the
completion of the dome in 1436, no one has been
able to figure out how
the dome was constructed, including Leonardo Da
Vinci, Michelangelo
and others. In 1977 Ricci began puzzling over the
problem and proposed
a solution in 1982 which was mathematically proven
correct in 1983,
and a scale model was built in 1985.

OSTILIO RICCI
(1540 - 1603)
was Court Mathematician to the Grand Duke Francesco in
Florence in 1580 when Galileo
attended his lectures in Pisa. To Ricci,
mathematics was a philosophy and a way of looking
at the cosmos. Galileo
asked Ostilio Ricci, his mentor, to meet with his parents and
persuade them
to allow Galileo to take up mathematics and abandon his medical studies.
Even with Ricci’s offer to personally manage Galileo’s education,
Vincenzo
Galilei, needed a year to adjust to the idea of his son leaving
medical school. Ricci
recognized Galileo’s genius and in his
instruction showed Galileo how mathematics
could be applied to profitable
enterprises.
