>Born into a middle class family
>One of of six children
>a number of his siblings died when he was young
>mother died of breast cancer when he was 18
>Strived to become an artist
>Got turned down and lived as a beggar on the streets of Vienna
>After a series of events including serving in the Great War and being caught in a gas attack he became the leader of his country who lead Germany out of the depression

Not counting the geopolitical decisions and certain domestic polices he made of course

> Bruno was a crazy cunt
Maybe, he had a few interestinig hunches, some of which were wrong, some of which were right, and he was into some silly occult shit, but he wasn't as bad as the corrupt institution that burned him while it was accepting indulgences from far worse people. Even the Vatican today has second thoughts that executing him was a good idea.

By the way, the pic is from the last scene of a 70s Italian movie about him. I think I chose well since it shows his execution.

I made the image ambiguous in the hopes that it spurs research. Seems like it did on your part.

One need only type the phrases in the image, or the name of the image. Call it a curiosity bonus.

As for my the nature of the image, Christians often depict Yeshua at the moment of his execution, because they see it as crucial (no pun intended) to what he did for humankind. Why can't I do the same with Giordano Bruno?

I see him as a martyr for free thought. They burned him for many things that would still qualify as heresy today, but they were also pissed that he was Copernican, thought stars were suns, and thought there were other planets orbiting other stars. On these accounts he was correct, albeit through intuition rather than experimentation.

Bruno was brave to stand up for what he believed in to the very last. He had plenty of opportunities to repent and walk away with his tail between his legs, but he refused to pretend he believed things he didn't just to appease Rome's Christian Institutions.
