Biography
Italian philosopher, theologian, astrologer, and poet.
Accused of leading a conspiracy against the Spanish rule in his hometown of Stilo, Campanella was captured and incarcerated in Naples, where he was tortured seven times and then, crippled and ill, was sentenced to life imprisonment. Campanella spent twenty-seven years imprisoned there, often in the worst conditions. During his detention, he wrote his most important works including his most famous piece, The City of the Sun (originally written in Italian in 1602; published in Latin in Frankfurt (1623) and later in Paris (1638). He defended Galileo Galilei in his first trial with his work The Defense of Galileo (written in 1616, published in 1622). Campanella was finally released from prison in 1626, and was restored to full liberty in 1629.
He died on 21 May 1639 in the convent of Saint-Honoré in Paris, France.
