Girolamo Savonarola Part 6: Book of Revelation

Girolamo Savonarola
Written By Willem Conner

Cover Image: Portrait of a Dominican, presumed to be Savonarola. Painting by Moretto da Brescia, 1524.

Closing Theme: "Dies Irae" performed by the Monastic Choir of the Grimbergen Abbey.

When Savonarola's influence prevents Florence from joining an anti-French coalition made up of the other Italian states, he raises the ire of Pope Alexander VI, sparking a deadly rivalry that would last for the next three years.
