This article is seriously lacking in not only sources on the subject, but also in references to detail what little is listed in the article. There is also a distinct lack of proper tone and there are grammatical errors abound.

If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |
Peer Review
editBoth reviews mention a lack of content and sources, so that is still probably priority number 1. There was also mention of including info about Nicola's personal life (family, life, death, etc.), but finding such information has been a rather arcane process and I have not personally found much, so I don't know how much improvement we can make there. Improving the readability of our sections and filling them out a little more is also something we plan to do post-haste. Also, it was mentioned that we may need to alter the original lead paragraph in the article to reflect our finding on Nicola's map making, so that is also on the roster. We might add more pictures, but I feel I may be hard pressed to find images that are both relevant and new to the article, so that is not the highest prioritity (at least for me).
Early life

Stigliola's Legal Encounters with the Inquisition (WIP - Expanded by ADecentNameForSure)
editIn 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.[2] 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.[3]
Stigliola and Printing
editStigliola owned and operated a personal printing press by the name of Typographia Stelliolae[4]. He would go on to print at least 80 known works[5], though most are not known to have survived to the modern day. Was friends with Giovanni Battista Ciotti[2]
Stigliola and Map Making (Addition by ADecentNameForSure)
edit
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 and his brother Modestino were later partnered with Mario Cartaro (who would engrave the map[6]) in 1591[7], 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.[8]
(holy moly just found the map)
