Poor Bruno! I am sure it hurt when he hit his head. Monitor him for any abnormal signs and have your vet take a look at him if you notice anything concerning, like disorientation, unsteadiness, unequal or dilated pupils, nausea, etc. If he just hit his head while turning around there probably wasn't enough force to cause any major damage.

Please monitor Bruno carefully. If you notice any abnormal behaviour, difficulty moving, lack of appetite, lumps or bumps, or if Bruno is sore when you touch the area, please have him seen by a vet. If you do not notice these, and he is acting normal, then I would not be too concerned.
