DI FRANCESCO PATRONE
ABSTRACT – The main focus of this work is to introduce the reader to a path,
whose aim is to follow every appearance of the name of Girolamo
Savonarola in Niccolò Machiavelli’s work. At the end of the following
pages, which include glances on Discorsi sopra la prima deca di Tito Livio, Il
principe, Decennale primo and Lettera a Francesco Guicciardini del 17 maggio
1521, we will be able to consider Machiavelli’s opinion about Savonarola in
his entirety. Machiavelli’s consideration of Savonarola is not univocal, but
is built by different perspectives and elements.
