Statue of Giordano Bruno

Italy

The Monument to Giordano Bruno, created by the Grand Master Mason Ettore Ferrari, was erected in 1889 at Campo de' Fiori square in Rome, Italy, to commemorate the Italian philosopher Giordano Bruno, who was burned there in 1600. Since its inception the idea of a monument dedicated to the executed heretic located in Rome, once the capital of the Papal States, has generated controversy between anti-clerical groups and those more aligned with the Roman Catholic church.
