For a long time, Giordano Bruno has represented a philosophical figure
with immense symbolic power. During the period of conflict between the modern states and
the Catholic Church, his martyrdom and his philosophical work were elevated to the status
of universal notoriety. In the meantime, modern research has come to forget more and more
the merits of the Italian Renaissance and the genesis of modernity's scientific culture.
In the wake of the great writer and impassioned fighter Giordano Bruno, there is an entire
group of significant thinkers of the time who have as their inspiration and model,
Nicholas of Cusa. In Bruno's work, this impulse found a rich valorization and ideal
transposition.
