Abstract
Galileo Galilei was a skilled writer and explored several genres, from the well-known scientific writings (often in the form of dialogs) to theater and poetry. His last published poem, "Mostro son io" (A Monster am I), is a riddle written in the form of a sonnet. We suggest that the solution to Galileo's riddle is the Zodiac.
