Nola is the birthplace of the italian universal scholar Giordano Bruno, who was burnt as a heretic in 1600. To mark the jubilee of his 400th day of death in 200, the wooden sculpture 'Giordano Bruno' 4 Cast glass windows by the Berlin sculptor Alexander Polzin were installed in two mirror image rooms in the lobby (access, entrance hall) of the city hall.
