About Giordano Bruno
Giordano Bruno was an Italian philosopher, astronomer, and cosmologist who proposed revolutionary ideas like the existence of distant suns with their own planets, cosmic pluralism, and the infinity of the universe. Despite facing persecution and being burned at the stake for heresy, he is now celebrated as a martyr for science and free thought.
