La circulación de la «Storia d’Italia» de Francesco Guicciardini (1483-1540) en el Mediterráneo (siglos XVI-XVII): la presencia en Barcelona

I here present an expansionn of Montserrat Moragues - Coscolla’s, Ph. D. «La influencia de la historiografía renacentista italiana en las Monarquías occidentales. El caso de Francesco Guicciardini» (Universitat de Barcelona, 2016). I analyse the keys of the great fortuna enjoyed by the Storia d’Italia in Barcelona. Besides its intrinsic value and its subject matter, closely connected to Catalan expansion in the Mediterranean and to the Spanish Monarchy, I refer to the role played by, to use P. Gendlers’s terms, «popularizers», such as Francesco Sansovino and Remigio Nanni (Florentino). Furthermore, I rediscover the great interest aroused by works, derived from Guicciardini’s reflections, which contained precepts for government. Special attention is paid to the books written by Joaquim de Setantí at the beginning of seventeenth century, at a time inclined to tacitism.
