    Il duplice volto del monarca dantesco tra teoria politica e realtà storica
    in Storia e Politica , Anno IV, n. 2 ,  2012
    Despite the huge research recently carried out by scholars on the Empire theory in Dante’s Monarchia, it has not clear yet what role historical exempla of Roman and Medieval Emperors play. Most of all are reported in Divine Comedy to refine that theory: as Dante measures virtue of historical universal rulers by their afterlife destiny and shows how difficult it is to connect political theory and its application to reality. Comparing the three theoretical questions (if universal government is necessary; if the Roman people received the monarchy by right; if the Monarch receives his authority directly from God), he investigated in Monarchia, to the judgement on historical Monarchs, shows that Latin political treatise cannot be dismissed as a utopian project, out of historical reality.
