And unlike Galileo, he not only didn’t fear torture and death, but his last words on the subject —literally his last words on the subject, (spoken to his tormentors just after they had sentenced him)— were defiant: “Perhaps you who pronounce my sentence are in greater fear than I who receive it.”
Why did they burn Giordano Bruno?
Giordano Bruno was sentenced to be burned to death by the Roman Inquisition for his heretical ideas, which he refused to recant. (It has been debated which of his ideas were found heretical, since the records of the case have not been preserved.)
