Savonarola, Machiavelli, constitution, corruption, tyranny, theatreAbstract
The paper examines Girolamo Savonarola’s ideas and his political ventures within the social context of 15th century Florence. Two aspects of his political performativity are in our focus. The frier will be viewed both as an actor and as a director of a peculiar theatrical performance that engages the entire City. These two roles correspond with two sides of his endeavour: Christian moral restoration as the new frame of social life and the prophetic reshaping of the political. Savonarola’s ideas will be contrasted with Niccolo Machiavelli’s standpoint, the one that deters the readers from their suspension of disbelief and disenchants them from the images by which the decision makers’ artistic imagination tries to paint the sphere of the political.
