Here on February 17h 1600, the philosopher and astronomer Giordano
Bruno was burned as an heretic for contending that the universe
has no center. Now, in the center of "Campo de Fiori"
(Field of flowers) rises his monument. The statue was erected in
1889 by italian monarchy and it was built by the patriots who fought
for the reunion of Italy. Giordano Bruno is considered by many to
be a martyr for science and by many more to be a martyr for free
thought.
