Questo studio analizza la profonda influenza di Galileo sulla filosofia di Hobbes, anche attraverso la mediazione di Mersenne. Del “galileismo” hobbesiano, l’autore mette in luce i molteplici aspetti: metodologici ed epistemologici, ma anche le analogie concettuali e lessicali nel campo della fisica, per giungere a un confronto tra i due autori sul tema della struttura della materia, dal quale emerge una comune concezione meccanicista dell’universo. [English abstract: This study analyses the profound influence that Galileo had on Hobbes’s philosophy, also through the mediation of Mersenne. The author highlights the many aspects of Hobbesian ‘Galileism’: not only methodological and epistemological ones, but also conceptual and lexical analogies in the field of physics, to arrive at a comparison between the two authors on the subject of the structure of matter, revealing a common mechanistic conception of the universe.]
