«Breviario dei politici» is the political philosophy essay by Giulio Mazzarino, published by Newton Compton Editori in paperback (100 pages, in Italian).
It gathers brief maxims attributed to Cardinal Giulio Mazzarino on the exercise of power. Faced with a scenario in which the politician moves between deceit and cunning, it defends caution, dissimulation and moderation as essential virtues, and presents the ruler as an actor who masters the art of appearance in public life.
Original title: «Breviarium politicorum secundum rubricas Mazarinicas», first published in 1684. Complete edition from the Tascabili economici Newton collection, with an introduction by Francesco Perfetti.
A work of interest to readers of political philosophy and to those seeking European classics on the art of governing.
