Galileo at Rosario

Rosario Resort recently hosted the Rosario Property Owners Association and a presentation by member Mark Thompson, who presented "Galileo 1610," a living history production; a dramatic, musical and comical odyssey back to the life and times of Galileo Galilei, the famous 17th century Italian scientist and philosopher. It commemorates the 400th anniversary of Galileo’s discoveries with his telescope in 1610.




Dressed in authentic Renaissance attire as Galileo, Mark Thompson, a cantorial soloist and amateur astronomer, tells the fascinating story of “The Father of Modern Science,” drawing from the actual correspondence and writings of Galileo, as well as those of his many biographers. His performance at Rosario also coincided with the height of the Perseid Meteor Showers, which were very visible later in the evening here on Orcas Island.
