I don't think that all of these items are 100% accurate. Marina never moves in with Galileo, they kept separate houses. Another thing I disagree with is that he places his daughters in a convent because of a lack of dowry. It is clear that partially he places them there for fear of the ramifications of his scientific claims and also, it seems as if he had a predisposition to "religious" faith and support, having wanted to follow a religious path himself, but being denied by his father. Also, although he was not wealthy by birth he does establish himself sufficiently and has enough clout to procure a proper dowry.
