Response to RyanSchrick87
I agree that it would be extremely helpful to find and include more information on his early and late life, as Ryan mentions. We had discussed as a group trying to add a "relationships" or "important relationships" section so I'm glad Ryan had the same idea. I'm also especially interested on more information on his life after prison. I'm not sure how to find information on how he avoided going back, because he espoused even more controversial ideas once he was out, but that's a fantastic question to ask.

Primary thing I absolutely agree with is that we need more sources, but it's a struggle. Images related to Stigliola is a fantastic suggestion, the article is really boring without something to look at. I think I'll take the suggestion of copying the main sections over into the sandbox to change grammar or writing to reflect new additions, though they're fairly well written as is.

Stigliola's Student - Andrea Fodio Gambara
When Stigliola died in 1623, he was a highly celebrated member of the Academy of the Lynx. He was recognized and appreciated by esteemed members of the institution, like Galileo Galilei, and his beliefs no longer put him at risk of persecution. Not long after he was admitted though, he would die, and among the people familiar with him tasked by Lynceans to collect his writings and works of significance, was Andrea Fodio Gambara.

Stigliola's Encyclopedia pythagorea and Fodio's Continuation
In 1616 Stigliola started what he intended to be a gargantuan project, Encyclopedia Pythagorea, partly wherein the code observable in the infinite stars could be transcribed. It was one of the ways that Stigliola derived influence from Bruno, continuing the concept of using discovery and observation to decode the natural world. It was never finished, and Fodio would resume the responsibility of its completion. He claimed a work he wrote concerning gout, Il Camaleonte antipodagrico, discorso enciclopedico as a continuation of his previous mentor's work. He would express however, that he thought it was ultimately hopeless, as the proposed infinite nature of the problem meant it was impossible to ever complete.
