	Francesco Guicciardini - LoveToKnow 1911
		FRANCESCO GUICCIARDINI (1483-1540), the celebrated Italian historian and statesman, was born at Florence in the year 1483, when Marsilio Ficino held him at the font of baptism.
		It is clear from Guicciardini's autobiographical memoirs that he was ambitious, calculating, avaricious and power-loving from his earliest years; and in Spain he had no more than an opportunity of studying on a large scale those political vices which already ruled the minor potentates of Italy.
		Guicciardini seems to glory in his disillusionment, and uses his vast intellectual ability for the analysis of the corruption he had helped to make incurable.

		That Guicciardini should have felt the urge to clarify his views on Machiavelli's political philosophy is significant in that it shows how deeply Machiavelli's ideas affected him.

	Liber Liber: Biblioteca \| Autori G \| Guicciardini, Francesco
		Francesco Guicciardini nacque a Firenze nel marzo del 1483, da una famiglia di tradizionale fede medicea che proprio dai Medici aveva ottenuto benessere, autorità ed onori come poche altre famiglie all'interno delle mura fiorentine.
		Il padre Piero, profondamente legato al filosofo Marsilio Ficino, lo indirizzò verso gli studi di giurisprudenza, studi che Francesco intraprese prima a Firenze, poi a Padova e in ultimo a Pisa.
		Il Guicciardini, la cui tradizione familiare e il cui servizio presso due pontefici medicei lo rendevano particolarmente inviso alla Firenze repubblicana, fu oggetto di numerose accuse (alcune delle quali riuscì a dimostrare false), non poté più ricoprire incarichi e si ritirò a vita privata.

		Guicciardini regressed to a purely Italian political thought, whereas Machiavelli had attained a European thought.
		Machiavelli is "pessimistic" (or better realistic) when he regards men, and the motives of their actions: Guicciardini is not pessimistic, but sceptical and petty.
		Guicciardini's writings are more of a period piece than they are political science, and that is De Sanctis' judgement.

		More than any other Leonardo da Vinci represents the ideal Renaissance man, versatile and open to all experience; his genius found expression in painting, sculpture, philosophy, mathematics and the study of the sciences, but he was also important as a writer thanks to his treatise on painting.
		Francesco Guicciardini (1483-1540), one of the most prominent historian and writer of Renaissance, had a philosophy based on the same basic principles as Machiavelli's: the individual, with his passions and actions, is the driving force of history.

	Reason of State - Introduction
		This body of knowledge gradually enlarges, keeps a record of this enlargement, and is put down in writing with the task of transmitting behavioural rules for the prince and for his subjects.
		In fact, already in the dialogue Del reggimento di Firenze, written by Francesco Guicciardini between 1521 and 1523, a slightly different expression is used, namely reason of states, meaning that not very Christian and not very human reason which governs in the field of political affairs.
		Guicciardini resumes this theme of Machiavelli's and would seem to confirm the effective reality of this separation: he expresses both his diffidence towards exalting the instrument of politics and his wish that the precepts of morals, be they natural or divine, should not be completely overruled by politics.
