Piagnoni

Girolamo Savonarola

The Piagnoni were a group of Christians who followed the teachings of Girolamo Savonarola and a related political faction in the Republic of Florence. The later Piagnoni remained in the Catholic Church and kept a mixture with the teachings of Catholic dogma and the teachings of Savonarola. The name Piagnoni (meaning "Weepers") was given because they wept for their sins and the sins of the world.

The opponents of the Piagnoni were the Arrabbiati at first, but after 1500 these factions formed an alliance against the Medici.
