Paolo Antonio Foscarini (c. 1565 – 10 June 1616) was a Carmelite priest and scientist, whose book on the mobility of the Earth was condemned by the Roman Inquisition in 1616 along with the writings of Copernicus.
Paolo Foscarini was born in Montalto in Calabria, with the family name Scarini.
He studied in Naples at the convent of the Carmine Maggiore and was professor of theology in Messina, where he also taught philosophy. He was appointed prior of the convent of Tropea, vicar provincial of the Order in Naples and from 1608 Father Provincial of Calabria. He died at a Carmelite convent he had founded in Montalto.[1]
