教皇最大的对手：吉罗拉莫·萨沃纳罗拉

1497年5月24日，吉罗拉莫萨伏那拉被带到了德拉·西莫里亚广场中间的一个脚手架上。人群聚集在他周围，看着他在被绞死和焚烧之前受到公开羞辱。但这个人做了什么，导致了如此可怕的死亡？
吉拉莫·萨沃纳罗拉于1458年9月21日出生于费拉拉，他将加入多米尼加修士会，并找到前往佛罗伦萨市的路。这座由美第奇家族经营的城市曾经富裕、生活快速，但当这位谦逊的多米尼加人出现时，人们并不知道他即将席卷他们的世界。
萨沃纳罗拉在佛罗伦萨人民面前向一座日益拥挤的大教堂讲道，后来被称为先知。当查理八世率领法国军队入侵意大利时，他的一个所谓预言实现了。这足以让人们坐起来注意，让这个人成为佛罗伦萨的实际统治者。除了吉罗拉莫·萨沃纳罗拉犯了一个非常致命的错误——他通过鼓吹反对他的腐败并试图推翻他，成为博尔贾教皇亚历山大六世的敌人。这将被证明是他最终的毁灭——教皇让如此热爱这位修士的佛罗伦萨人反对他，他结束了在熊熊烈火之上的日子。
The Pope’s Greatest Adversary: Girolamo Savonarola
On 24 May 1497 Girolamo Savonarola was led out to a scaffold in the middle of the Piazza della Signoria. Crowds gathered around and watched as he was publically humiliated before being hanged and burned. But what did this man do that warranted such a horrendous death?
Born on 21 September 1458 in Ferrara, Girolamo Savonarola would join the Dominican order of friars and find his way to the city of Florence. Run by the Medici family, the city was used to opulence and fast living but when the unassuming Dominican showed up, the people were unaware that he was about to take their world by storm.
Preaching before the people of Florence to an increasingly packed out Cathedral, Savonarola came to be called a prophet. And when Charles VIII invaded Italy with his French army, one of his so called prophecies came true. It was enough for the people to sit up and take note, allowing this man to become the defacto ruler of Florence. Except Girolamo Savonarola made one very fatal mistake – he made an enemy of Alexander VI, the Borgia Pope, by preaching against his corruption and attempting to overthrow him. It would prove to be his ultimate undoing – the Pope turned the Florentines who had so loved the friar against him and he ended his days hanging above a raging inferno.
