## Bio

Born Giovanni Domenico Campanella in 1568, he took vows as a Dominican and earned a reputation as a philosopher, theologian, and astrologer. The Roman Inquisition prosecuted him for heresy in 1594, confining him to house arrest for two years. In 1599 he was accused of plotting against Spanish rule in Calabria, tortured, and imprisoned. He remained behind bars for 27 years, during which he produced his most important work: The City of the Sun, a utopia imagining an egalitarian theocratic state where citizens share all property in common. He died in 1639.
