Description: This statue is the centrepiece of Campo de' Fiori (Field of Flowers), a major public square south of Piazza Navona. Giordano Bruno was a Dominican friar who was convicted of heresy and burned at the stake in this place. He had rejected key Catholic doctrines, believed in a heliocentric solar system and correctly proposed that the Sun was a star moving through space. He was later viewed as a martyr for science and free thought.
