According to the wiki:

Tozzetti later wrote that Capponi's explanation for taking the two fingers as relics was "because Galileo wrote so many beautiful things with them."

seems liek Galileo was eventually right in his dismissal of geocentrism, however his actual arguments for it were kind of weak and didn't really prove his point.
