Biography
Evangelista Torricelli's parents were Gaspare Torricelli and Caterina Angetti.Barometro de mercurio evangelista torricelli biography
It was a fairly poor family with Gaspare being a textile worker. Evangelista was the eldest of his parents three children, having two younger brothers at least one of whom went on to work with cloth. It is greatly to his parents' credit that they saw that their eldest son had remarkable talents and, lacking the resources to provide an education for him themselves, they sent him to his uncle who was a Camaldolese monk.
Brother Jacopo saw that Evangelista was given a sound education until he was old enough to enter a Jesuit school.
