Summary
Danti was a cosmographer in the court of Cosimo I de Medici. Visitors to Florence today may view his stunning maps of the world in the Hall of Maps of the Palazzo Vecchio, as well as armillary spheres and a quadrant he mounted on the facade of the church of Santa Maria Novella. The Museo Galileo holds an astrolabe (#3361), used by Galileo, which was once attributed to Danti.
