 | | Born near Naples, in a place a place called Nola (Campania), Bruno was one of the new breed of scientists who shunned the stilted philosophy of Aristotle; and, thus, came afoul the doctrines of the church. |
 | | In 1592, Bruno was arrested by the ecclesiastical authorities (The Inquisition) and put on trial for his beliefs, beliefs based on the real world such as those of Copernicus, and which he would not recant. |
 | | After a seven year trail, Bruno, in an act which forever branded the church as an intolerant institution, at Rome, was put to death by burning. |
