Durante la primera edad moderna muchos mitos procedentes de las historias antiguas y recientes entran a formar parte de la cultura y del debate político e institucional. El mito de Alejandro Magno, rey de Macedonia, es un claro ejemplo. Su historia grandiosa, pero también ambigua y controvertida, y las leyendas que la rodean inspiran no sólo a artistas y literatos, sino también a pensadores políticos que quieren entender y obtener alguna enseñanza útil ya sea del condotiero audaz y afortunado, ya sea del político que ha conquistado y organizado tierras y pueblos tan diversos. Para Maquiavelo la figura de Alejandro se inserta plenamente en la línea de aquellos modelos que se han de proponer a los príncipes y poderosos; en la Francia del siglo XVI esta figura es utilizada para defender diferentes visiones de la política y del buen monarca, en el cuadro de un antimaquiavelismo más ostentado que sincero. ; During the early Modern period many myths from ancient and recent histories become part of the culture and of the political and institutional debate. The Myth of Alexander the Great, king of Macedonia, can be a clear example. His great story, ambiguous and controversial as well, and the legends that surround him, inspire not only artists and writers, but also political thinkers who want to understand and get some useful learning, either from the bold and successful condottieri, or from the politician who conquered and organized such diverse lands and peoples. For Machiavelli, Alexander's figure is fully inserted in line with those models that have been proposed to the princes and powerful; in sixteenth century France this figure was used to defend different views of politics and of the good monarch, in the way of a flaunted rather than a sincere anti- Machiavellianism.

L'indefinibilità della storia e del concetto stesso di machiavellismo, confermata dalla relazione inaugurale di Enzo Baldini, inducono lo storico del pensiero politico a fare alcune considerazioni e commenti relativi al suo specifico campo di ricerca, per il quale la presente nota intende sia circoscrivere il machiavellismo proprio di Machiavelli quale si evince dalle sue pagine, sia i modi e i metodi con cui le idee machiavelliane vengono utilizzate e adattate a situazioni storiche particolari. Le osservazioni vengono illustrate ed esemplificate con riferimento a testi e relazioni presentate nel convegno. ; The indefinability of history and the concept of Machiavellianism itself, confirmed by the inaugural account made by Enzo Baldini, lead the historian of political thought to make some considerations and comments about their particular field of research, for which the present note hopes to both define Machiavelli's own Machiavellianism according to that which emerges from his pages and the ways and methods with which Machiavelli's ideas are used and adapted to specific historical situations. The observations made are illustrated and examples are provided with references to texts and accounts made in the congress.
