Saint Girolamo Savonarola (1452-1498). Girolamo Savonarola was a Florentine Dominican monk who was HORRIFIED by the scandalous conduct of Pope Borgia and his many bastard children. He was the forerunner of Martin Luther, but unlike Martin Luther, the only bible available to him was the corrupt Latin Vulgate Version of Jerome.
My friend who collects antiques has a Savonarola chair made of fir and chestnut. It has six slats on each side and a small golden yellow cushion to sit on. The back is open except for the scroll that runs across and joins the thing together.
