Resumen de Michelangelo Florio e il Sant’Uffizio
The confinement of Michelangelo Florio in the Roman prison in Tor di Nona and later in the monastery of Santi Apostoli from February 1547 until his escape in May 1549 was known only from his Apology (1557); but the records of his examinations (beginning from October 1548) are preserved in the very earliest papers of Archivio storico of the former Congregazione del Sant’Uffizio, which was opened to the scholars only in 1998. These papers report only brief notes about cardinals and officers involved and resolutions taken and unveil some details about the long confinement and the remarkable escape of the former fra Paolo Antonio.
