"La Palingenesi di Roma: (da Livio a Machiavelli)" by G. e L. Ferrero is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the evolution of Roman historiography, tracing its development from the early chronicles of Livy to the influential writings of Machiavelli. The authors examine how ancient Roman civilization has shaped modern thought and political theory, emphasizing the interplay between historical narrative and moral philosophy. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the context of Roman historical writing, referencing key figures such as Cicero, Sallust, Livy, and Tacitus. It establishes a duality in Roman historiography, contrasting the older, more rigid annalistic style with the eloquent and artistic methods that emerged later. Through a consideration of the moral and philosophical undertones in the works of these historians, the Ferreros set the stage for a comprehensive analysis of how Roman history has been interpreted and valued over time, particularly in relation to contemporary society.
