What happens

Giordano Bruno is a 1973 Italian biographical drama film directed by Giuliano Montaldo. It was produced by Carlo Ponti. The film, which does not shy from presenting libidinous aspects of his behaviour, chronicles the last years of life of the philosopher Giordano Bruno (1548-1600), from the year 1592, when his ideas drew the attention of guardians of Roman Catholic doctrines, to his execution in 1600.
