Fabio Albergati
Fabio Albergati (1538–1606) was an Italian diplomat and writer, known for political theory and as a moralist.[1]
He was born in Bologna,[2] and was in the service of Jacopo Boncompagni.[3]
Works
He wrote against duelling in 1583, at a time when his patron was active against banditry.[4] He wrote a very detailed attack on Jean Bodin's theoretical dismissal of mixed constitutions.[2] He equated reason of state with Machiavellianism.[5] His La Republica regia (published 1627) was a counter to Machiavelli.[6]
Family
His children included Cardinal Niccolò Albergati-Ludovisi.[7]
