This man convinced Pico della Mirandola to give up writing and become a monk and, according to Vasari, induced Botticelli to "desert his painting". The Piagnoni were an order dedicated to preserving this man's ideas, and he was forced to confess to heresy after being tortured with Domenico de Pescia and Fra Silvestro. One action by this man, who took power after the French invasion of Florence, took place in the Piazza della Signoria, and this figure was eventually excommunicated by Pope Alexander VI and executed. For 10 points, name this book-burning Dominican priest who led the Florentine Republic from 1494 to 1498 and who orchestrated the Bonfire of the Vanities.
