Galileo Galilei was put underhouse arrest in June of 1633, not at his own house, but at the residence of the Tuscan ambassador, and later at the residence of the archbishop of Siena after traveling to Rome to be questioned by the Roman Inquisition. Then, in December of the same year, he was allowed to return to his villa in Arcetri, near Florence. He was not released, but was kept under house arrest for the remainder of his life.

Galileo Galilei was imprisoned by the Roman Catholic Church in 1633 for holding the belief that the Earth revolves around the Sun, which was contrary to the Church's teachings at the time. He was held under house arrest for the remainder of his life until his death in 1642.

He was never actually imprisoned. He was ordered to be imprisoned and this was changed to house arrest. He commenced house arrest at age 70.
