Menocchio
Domenico Scandella called Menocchio (also: Menoch, Menochi; * 1532, † 1599) was a miller from the mountain village of Monte Valcellina in the Italian Friuli. He was repeatedly interrogated by the Inquisition and sentenced. In 1599, he was eventually burned at the age of 67 years at the stake. This was done on the orders of Pope Clement VIII. The obtained unusually extensive interrogation protocols are a historical source, which give a unique insight into the rural religion or the "popular materialism " towards the end of the Middle Ages.
The study by Carlo Ginzburg on Menocchio counts within the discipline of history to the newer flow of cultural history.
