The album is based on the life of the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei (1564–1642), who, according to legend, muttered the phrase eppur si muove, meaning "And yet it does move", after being forced to recant, in front of the Inquisition, his belief that the earth moved around the sun.

In 2021, it was elected by Metal Hammer as the 23rd best symphonic metal album.[3]

The following is a musical theme recurring in many tracks on the album (as All'inizio è la morte, Per Aspera ad Astra and the titletrack Eppur si muove):
