Giordano Bruno (1548–February 17, 1600) was an Italian philosopher, priest, astronomer/astrologer, and occultist.
The Last Confession by Australian author Morris West (The Devil's Advocate, The Shoes of the Fisherman, The Ambassadors) is a fictional account of Giordano Bruno's imprisonment before he is convicted of heresy and burned at the stake during the Inquisition in 1600.
Czesław Miłosz's poem "Campo di Fiori" interweaves the Italian masses indifference to the burning of Giordano Bruno with the Poles' indifference to the Germans' supression of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
Bruno Nolano or Bruno the Nolan was an Italian philosopher, astronomer, and occultist executed as a heretic, popularly regarded as a martyr to the cause of freedom of thought because his ideas went against church doctrine.
There is some reason to believe that during this period he acted from 1583 to 1585 as a secret agent in the household of the French ambassador to England (M Castelnau).
The 20-km diameter crater Giordano Bruno, named in Bruno's honor, is located on the moon at 103° east lunar longitude, 36° north lunar latitude.
