What was savanarola's connection to the Inquisition?

Girolamo Savonarola was an Italian Dominican friar and preacher known for his vehement opposition to corruption in the Church and the secularization of society in Renaissance Florence. While he himself was not an official member of the Inquisition, his fiery sermons against sin and moral decay attracted the attention of the Church. His influence and radical views ultimately led to his excommunication in 1497, and he was later tried by the Inquisition for heresy, resulting in his execution in 1498. Savonarola's connection to the Inquisition highlights the tension between reformist zeal and the established Church's authority during that period.
