Telescope
If not Galileo, then who?
A man named Hans Lipperhey invented the telescope. He was born in Wesel, Germany and made his home in Middleburg, part of the Zeeland province in the Netherlands. He was married there in 1594, and became a habitancy in 1602. He was a spectacle-maker by trade.
The Italians advanced new glass-making techniques which were introduced to the Netherlands in the 1590's. These new techniques helped to bring about new ideas and innovations in the glass-making society and habitancy started to experiment with dissimilar ways to incorporate lenses.
Where is the proof?
Many other habitancy claim to have invented the telescope, but Hans Lipperhey is the only person documented to have applied for a patent for the device.
Child's play
Legend has it that it wasn't Hans himself, but his children who undoubtedly invented the telescope while they were playing.
