Giordano Bruno
Giordano Bruno (1548–1600) was an Italian philosopher, writer, and cosmologist known for his bold ideas that challenged the established views of his time. He advocated for an infinite universe with countless worlds, opposing the geocentric model, and emphasized the unity of nature and God. His works, such as "On the Infinite Universe and Worlds" and "The Ash Wednesday Supper," blended philosophy, science, and mysticism. Bruno's outspoken views on religion and cosmology led to his arrest by the Roman Inquisition, and he was eventually executed for heresy in 1600.
