Abstract




The paper focuses on the properties of the natural dominion, traced by Phillarges in his speech on Gian Galeazzo Visconti’s coronation day (1395). The rule of the compatriot prince who exercises his authority such like a father over the children and loves the subjects he nurses, is natural. This prince embellishes the city, safeguards iura civilia and so on. Apart from a reinterpretation of the Aristotelian Politics heavily conditioned by the Lombard context, the speech contains more general reflections about the circulation of new political models in late fourteenth-century Europe.
