Menocchio (Domenico Scandella, 1532–1599) was a miller from Montereale Valcellina, Italy, who was tried for heresy by the Roman Inquisition for his unorthodox religious views and then was burnt at the stake in 1599. The 16th-century life and medieval religious beliefs of Menocchio are known from the records of the Inquisition, and are the subject of The Cheese and the Worms (1976) by Carlo Ginzburg,[1][2][3][4] as well as of the stageplay Menocchio (2002) by Lillian Garrett-Groag[5] and the film Menocchio (Menocchio the Heretic) (2018) by Alberto Fasulo.
