Piagnoni’, they were called: ‘weepers’. They were gangs of boys and young men – mostly middle class – who patrolled the streets of Florence in the 1490s, shouting abuse at the visibly impious: drunks, gamblers, women. They were called ‘pinzocheroni’, too: bigots. They, like the city, were under the sway of Girolamo Savonarola, a Dominican friar who believed he was the voice of God.
my visual on that is the "walk of shame" in game of thrones, the townsfolk pointing and shouting "shame."
i might have missed a little of the ceremony involvded in the auto de fé
Historical Context
The auto de fé was the final step in the Inquisition process. After secret trials, confessions, and sometimes torture, the accused were publicly presented in a ceremony that included a Catholic Mass, prayers, a procession, and the reading of sentences. The ceremony could be elaborate, staged in city plazas, and attended by royalty or dignitaries.
