Therefore, it can be said that the patronage of Federico Cesi was important for Galileo because it placed him in contact with well-known scientists, it offered him the possibility to conduct research by consulting materials from a variety of fields, thus broadening the spectrum of his analysis, and, at the same time, it enabled him to conduct research that would probably bring him prestige and fortune due to the respectability of the group he is part of. The Royal Academy of Science of Paris is yet another remarkable example of patronage. However, this example points out a new level of motivation for patronage. During the reign of Louis 16th, the Royal Academy of Science came under royal patronage to point out the fact that "the king was the source of everything that happened in his kingdom" (Dear, 115). However, the king at the time had little interest in the actual events that took place inside the Academy; he was more interested in the rigors of the structures in which the scientists were conducting their research. From this point-of-view,...

Therefore, from this point-of-view, it can be said that the royal patronage had a negative impact on the results of research, despite the financial support.
All in all, it can be concluded that there is no clear answer on whether the practice of patronage was benefic or not the world on natural sciences because of the various forms of patronage, related to financial aid, philosophical ideas, beliefs, values. still, it is important to consider the discoveries and inventions that actually occurred throughout time and which built the world as we know it today.
