This humanistic dialogue provides a thoughtful insight on themes such as justice, the best government, the morals of the prince and citizen, education, and religion. Decembrio’s dialogue is dedicated to Filippo Maria Visconti, duke of Milan, the ‘worst enemy’ of Florence. Making use of literary and documentary sources, Ponzù Donato convincingly proves that Decembrio’s thought, sharing many points with the Florentine humanist Leonardo Bruni, belongs to the same world of Civic Humanism.The Renaissance Society of America ;13.Political sciencePolitical science.190.9031Donato Paolo PonzùNL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910793845903321Uberto Decembrio, Four Books on the Commonwealth - De re publica libri IV3707801UNINA
