      <abstract xml:lang="en">
        <p>«In such confusion of affairs, likely to lead to new disturbances, began the year one thousand four hundred and ninety-four […], a most unhappy year for Italy and in truth the beginning of the years of misfortune, because it opened the door to innumerable, horrible calamities.». This is the opening of the sixth chapter in the first book of the famous History of Italy by Francesco Guicciardini which, for the events of that unhappy year and those that immediately followed, draws extensively on the incomparably less well-known and popular De bello italico by Bernardo Rucellai, as demonstrated by his autograph summary of the Latin work and certain coincidences. In many ways a forerunner of the later great historical works, traversed by a line of thought and by reflections of undeniable modernity, the story of the descent into Italy of the 'monster' Charles VIII, seen through the eyes of a Florentine oligarch nostalgic for the regime of Lorenzo and hostile towards Piero de' Medici and his insane politics, deserves to be rediscovered. 
Based on the only existing manuscript, Rucellai's work is presented here for the first time in a modern edition, representing the very first Italian translation. </p>

        <p>«Incominciò […] in tale confusione delle cose tanto inclinate a nuove perturbazioni, l'anno mille quattrocento novantaquattro […], anno infelicissimo a Italia, e in verità anno principio degli anni miserabili, perché aperse la porta  a innumerevoli e orribili calamità». Comincia così il sesto capitolo del primo libro della celebre Storia d'Italia di Francesco Guicciardini: che, per gli eventi di quell'infelicissimo anno e di quelli immediatamente successivi, attinge a piene mani all'incomparabilmente meno noto e fortunato De bello italico di Bernardo Rucellai, come dimostrano il suo riassunto autografo dell'opera latina e sicure coincidenze. Per molti versi anticipatrice delle grandi opere storiche successive, percorsa da una trama di pensiero e da considerazioni di indiscutibile modernità, la storia della discesa del 'mostro' Carlo VIII in Italia, vista dagli occhi di un oligarca fiorentino nostalgico del regime laurenziano e ostile a Piero de' Medici e alla sua dissennata politica, merita di essere riscoperta. 
L'opera del Rucellai è qui presentata per la prima volta in edizione moderna, basata sull'unico manoscritto esistente, e per la prima volta tradotta in italiano.</p>
