RESUMO

We present the annotated translation of La città felice, followed by a study on the utopian thought of its author, Francesco Patrizi da Cherso. Written in 1551 and published two years afier, in Venice, this short political treatise is one of the first utopian writings to appear in the Cinquecento Italy. Somewhat atipic, this aristocratic utopia bears the signs of Patrizi s recent medical studies, as well as his first readings of Aristotle and, through Ficino, Plato. The presence of Venice and the myth that had been created about the perfectionof its mixed constitution- whichembodiesthe best formsof government set out by the Greek philosophers -, can also be read between the lines ofthe Patrizian scheme. In our study, we strove to make evident the insertion of this operetta, with all its specificities, in the segrnent of the political writings which - by regarding new forms of social organization and showing ways to the development of an ideal of citizen -, had a huge fortune in the last phase of the Renaissance
