- 34. Girolamo Savonarola (1452 –1498) was an Italian Dominican friar and an influential contributor to the politics of Florence from 1494 until his execution in 1498. He was known for his book burning, destruction of what he considered immoral art, and his vehement preaching against the moral corruption of much of the clergy at the time.
