Main event
Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake
February 17, 1600
Filippo Bruno was born in the family of a soldier near Naples in 1548. In 1565, the 17-year-old Filippo Bruno entered the Dominican monastery, receiving the name Giordano.
Studying the sciences, the writings of Nicolaus Copernicus, Giordano Bruno came to the conclusion that the natural scientific notions of the Church are erroneous. Giordano begins to publicly speak in debates throughout Europe, incriminating the Church in ignorance.
Upon his return to Italy in 1592, Bruno was arrested and imprisoned. The basis for the arrest was not so much the very idea of the infinity of the universe and the many inhabited worlds, but rather the very mockery of the foundations of faith. The eight-year imprisonment did not change Giordano's worldview, the torture did not break his faith in the truth of his judgments. Renunciation of his convictions Giordano Bruno preferred a bonfire.
On February 17, 1600, on the verdict of the court of the Inquisition in Rome in the Campo di Fiore square, Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake. His last words were: "Burning - does not mean refuting."
