Tra Machiavelli e Tacito : note sul dibattito politico genovese tra XVI e XVII secolo

2018 - Editoriale Scientifica

193-220 p.

  • In this contribution the author dwells on the Genoese political debate in the late Sixteenth century. In that period, marked by an increasing economic development and deep institutional changes, emerges and matures within the Genoese aristocracy, especially among the members of the Accademia degli Addormentati, a vibrant discussion about the nature of republican institutions in Genoa. In this context the reception of Machiavelli and Tacito's works accompanies the development of a political reflexion which, although it has not had as a result the production of systematic treatises, is noticeable in translations, introductions to historical commentaries and private manuscripts. In particular the essay focuses on the figure of Giulio Pallavicino who, besides being a well-known member of the Genoese aristocracy, was an engaged scholar and an active promoter of Machiavelli and Bodin's political messages.
