The fact that Florence had a good or vast knowledge in mathematics is a motivation. A lot of people have and still enjoys ridiculing this branch of science. Reading how she took 'the ordinary mathematics' and turn to good in her century is gold. Countless works and achievements would have been attained with her discovery. Italy; such a country for legends!
