Updated 2026-08-12
Domenico Scandella (1532–1599), known as Menocchio, was an Italian miller from Montereale Valcellina, Republic of Venice, who was tried for heresy by the Roman Inquisition for his unorthodox religious views and then was burnt at the stake in 1599. The 16th-century life and medieval religious beliefs of Menocchio are known from the records of the Inquisition, and are the subject of The Cheese and the Worms (1976) by Carlo Ginzburg, as well as of the stageplay Menocchio (2002) by Lillian Garrett-Groag and the film Menocchio (2018) by Alberto Fasulo.
