| Summary | "Fra Tommaso Campanella, Vol. 2" by Luigi Amabile is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the life and trials of the Dominican friar Fra Tommaso Campanella, focusing on his conspiracy against the Spanish rule in Naples, the subsequent legal proceedings he faced, and his perceived madness. The narrative promises to shed light on the turbulent period of Campanella's life, which is marked by political intrigue and ecclesiastical inquiry. The opening of this volume introduces the historical context surrounding the events of November 1599, when galeras arriving from Calabria brought condemned prisoners to Naples between executions intended to instill fear among the populace. The narrative begins with a vivid depiction of the brutality inflicted on these prisoners as a way to demonstrate the ruthless power of the authorities. Additionally, it highlights the judicial processes that Campanella and others had to endure, touching on themes of rebellion, heresy, and the complicated relationship between civil and ecclesiastical powers during this tumultuous time. This initial portion sets a somber tone, suggesting that the book will explore not only the legal battles but also the psychological turmoil that Campanella experienced amid intense scrutiny and persecution.
