      <abstract xml:lang="en">
        <p>The Pazzi Consipracy by Angelo Poliziano is the only historical work in the vast production of the famous humanist. He was an eye-witness of the tragic episode that took place in Florence in 1478 in which Giuliano de' Medici was killed and his brother Lorenzo il Magnifico wounded. This was one episode in a conflict between rival banking houses during what Fernand Braudel has defined as "the first crisis of capitalism". Behind the veil of a highly cultured form of appropriation of the classical tradition (Sallust's De Catilinae coniuratione), we can discern a ruthless realism which, in its spare style, anticipates the mood of early cinema. The Pactianae coniurationis commentarium clearly reveals the traces of a time that was neither happy nor brilliant, as in the illusory images of the Renaissance that have come down to us, but rather bubbled with bloodshed and also featured phenomena such as gambling which are typical of times of crisis. Following Alessandro Perosa's  by now impossible to get hold of edition, Poliziano's work is presented here in a historic perspective updated with the most recent historical reconstructions, with a series of appendices and a thorough chronology that help to focus the meanings and bring to the fore the features of the period in their potential entirety.</p>

        <p>La Congiura dei Pazzi di Angelo Poliziano è la sola opera storica nella vasta produzione del celebre umanista. Fu testimone oculare della tragica vicenda fiorentina che portò nel 1478 all'uccisione di Giuliano de' Medici e al ferimento del fratello Lorenzo il Magnifico – episodio di un conflitto tra case bancarie rivali durante quella che Fernand Braudel definì una «prima crisi del capitalismo». Dietro al velame di una forma coltissima di appropriazione della tradizione classica (la De Catilinae coniuratione di Sallustio) si intravede uno spietato realismo che, in uno stile asciutto, anticipa i tratti della decima Musa cinematografica di un passato prossimo. Il Pactianae coniurationis commentarium contiene ben visibili le tracce di un'epoca né felice, né radiosa come invece le immagini illusorie del Rinascimento ci hanno trasmesso, che anzi schiumeggia di sangue, e per giunta lascia intravedere fenomeni, come il gioco d'azzardo, tipici delle epoche di crisi.
Dopo l'edizione, ormai introvabile, di Alessandro Perosa, l'opera del Poliziano è presentata ora in una prospettiva storica aggiornata con le recenti ricostruzioni storiografiche, con una serie di appendici ed una cronologia adeguata che ne approfondiscono il significato e fanno emergere i caratteri dell'epoca nella loro tendenziale integrità.</p>
