Summary/Abstract: Machiavelli’s theoretical work was mainly focused on researching the art of the state. However, contrary to dominant and common definitions of the art of government in classic political theory, Machiavelli used an unconventional phrase – arte dello stato – to define the main subject of his research. This article analyzes intellectual and historical context of Machiavelli’s time to explain the reasons behind introduction of the new term in political theory.
