True.

Explanation:

A Dominic friar with an extrodinary gift for oratory and persuasion, Girolamo Savonarola became famous for his incendiary sermons in which he blasted the scandalous life and sins of the pope Alexander VI and the Vatican, the immoral excesses of the epoch, and the power abuses of the Medici family that ruled Florence, where he preached. He also had visions and said he had heard the voice of God speaking to him. He was apprehended and brought to the Rome where he was tortured, judged, condemned for heresy and burned.
