Francesco Stelluti, born in Fabriano on 12 January 1577 and dead in Rome in 1652, was an Italian polymath who worked in mathematics, microscopy, literature and astronomy. With Federico Cesi, Anastasio de Filiis and Johannes van Heeck he founded the Accademia dei Lincei in August 1603. He had gone to Rome young to study law, which he practised all his life alongside his literary and scientific studies. In the Accademia he was first appointed Grand Counsellor, teaching mathematics, geometry and astronomy to the other members, and later lecturer in machines and mathematical instruments and calculator of the motions of the stars. In 1604 he wrote a brief compendium of physics, logic and metaphysics.
