Database: Girolamo Savonarola

Girolamo SavonarolaDate of Birth: 1452.Profession: Dominican friar, Leader of Florence.
Girolamo Savonarola. A Dominican friar from Ferrara, this man took his job seriously. He saw the excesses of his age, the rich stomping the poor into the dirt, the priests selling indulgencies to the populace, and he went insane.
Calling himself an "instrument of God", Savonarola descended on Firenze. His sermons sent people into frenzies. He demanded an end to all personal property, to all progress, a return to Eden. Knowledge became the enemy. And he could erase it all with the Piece of Eden at his command.
Books, paintings, musical instruments, he burned everything in the Bonfire of the Vanities. History unraveled as his legions took control. And Firenze descended into darkness.
