Anti-republicanism in 15th century Italy: the case of Aurelio Lippo Brandolini
Keywords:
Republicanism, Anti-republicanism, Italian Renaissance, Civic humanism, BrandoliniAbstract
The article deals with the way in which, in the 15th century in Italy, a thought contrary to republicanism, which had become the most important current of political humanism of the period, developed. To approach the theme we use a work by Aurelio Lippo Brandolini - De comparatione reipublicae et regni- which makes the comparison between the republican and the monarchical form of government. The author clearly points out how to deal with the issue of anti-republicanism in the Renaissance, a fact present not only in public life, but, more precisely, in scholarly debates.
