Girolamo Savonarola, an ascetic Dominican friar in Renaissance Florence, preached against corruption, despotic rule, and the exploitation of the poor, promoting Christian renewal. He rose to power during political upheaval, establishing a republic under his leadership. Savonarola led moralistic campaigns, such as destroying secular art, and clashed with the papacy on reforms. Despite excommunication and condemnation, his followers persisted in advocating for religious reform and republican ideals.
