He was bringing the happy future of his native land nearer, but he himself spent half of his life in prison. He survived torture not by groveling and repentance, but by his courage and resource. His surname if translated from Italian means a hand bell. The great dreamer of the late middle ages, Tommaso Campanella said, "I am the bell for telling the new dawn."
