Resumen
Esta este artículo toma como objeto de análisis una biografía que Nicolás Maquiavelo dedicó a un condotiero de la ciudad Lucca que tiene por nombre La vita de Castruccio Castracani. A partir de allí se aborda no sólo el sentido de Castracani como exemplum del príncipe nuevo y sus virtudes sino también se explora hasta qué punto sus argumentos habilitan una lectura diferente de la relación entre el liderazgo personal y la democracia. Tomando como eje un texto de Maquiavelo generalmente ignorado por la crítica especializada, proponemos un concepto de gobierno popular, que opera como forma representativa de una democracia legitimada en la novedad y encarnada en una figura personal, siempre dentro de la matriz republicana maquiaveliana.
This paper analyses a biography written by Niccolò Machiavelli of a condottiero of the city of Lucca, entitled The Life of Castruccio Castracani. Delving into this book, the main objective of this article is to study Castracani as an exemplar of the new prince and his virtues, while also exploring the possibility of a different reading of the relationship between personal leadership and democracy. This work by Machiavelli has generally been ignored by specialists; yet it offers a concept of popular government that can function as a representative form of a democracy legitimized by novelty, incarnated by an individual while remaining within the republican matrix of the Machiavellian approach.
