TEVOLTNG HOWK HONORED M ALY Floral Tributes COmmemo-i' rate Death in Florence | - of Savonarola. By the Associated Press. PFLORENCE, Italy, May 23.—Flowers were piled high today at the foot of the | Neptune Monument in the Signoria Square in memory of the famous revolu- tionary monk Savonarola. At the base of the monument is a little tablet re- cording the fact that. May' 23, 1498, Savonarola was hanged and his body burned on that spot. : The newspapers did not print remind- ers of the rebel monk's anniversary, but the fact scemed, as in other years, to have lingered in memory. People came from many quarters and deposited their floral offerings at the Savonarola tablet. Many Americans were among them. Savonarola had two great loves—the Christian religion and the Republic of Florence.. He proclaimed Christ King of Florence and placed himself.in opposi- tion to the ruling Medici family. & time, with the aid of King Charles VIII of France, Savonarola’s Tule, based on the law of Christ, prevailed in Flar- ence. But Savonarola went too far and the people of Florence turncd against him. In some quarters he is regarded as a forerunner of the reformation.
