Stigliola's Legal Encounters with the Inquisition (WIP)
In July of 1595 Stigliola was accused of irreligion and was tried by the Inquisition. Charges generally included sympathizing with foreign peoples and false religions, or for spreading (through a printing press or lecture) ideas contrary to the religious institutions of the time. This was likely related to his disseminating of Brunian concepts. Stigliola was imprisoned alongside Bruno and Campanella, and when charges were dropped in 1597, he would increase his adherence to the philosophies that originally endangered him.

Stigliola and Map Making
In 1583, Stigliola was occupied with creating a new survey of the city of Naples to better represent the kingdom and protect against unnecessary danger due to outdated representations. Stigliola was later partnered with Mario Cartaro in 1591, and the survey was completed in 1595. The survey was noteworthy due to extensive use of symbols, some novel in cartography at the time, as well as a plethora of accurate measurements and specific data useful for gathering information on the city.
