Johannes Gutenburg
Johannes Gutenburg was a German goldsmith that was most well known for his invention of the Gutenberg press, a printing press that allowed mass copies of books and other documents to be made and spread throughout the world. The first book he mass produced was the Bible.
Galileo Galilei
Galileo was born in Pisa, Italy. One day he heard about the Dutch creating a spyglass (later known as telescope) to use militarily to see distant actions of other armies. It had not been patented yet, so Galileo went to work. He ended up inventing the first 10 power telescope and presented it to the Senate. He later used them for astronomy instead of for the military.
