ANALYTIC SUMMARY<br />
In the 16th century the ancient Sparta was, as a state, an explicit political<br />
reference not only for theorists who, with their strong links to the classical past,<br />
sought above all social and constitutional stability for Renaissance republics with<br />
ambitious geopolitical <strong>de</strong>signs, but also for others who opposed in their writings<br />
the growing support for absolute monarchy. As an idyllic and tim<strong>el</strong>ess society,<br />
formed by citizens who were mod<strong>el</strong>s of freedom and civic virtues, Sparta was<br />
also veiled inspiration for utopians who dreamed of a better, i<strong>de</strong>al world, a refuge<br />
in which to escape the corrupt and mundane reality surrounding them.<br />
Keywords: Sparta, political mod<strong>el</strong>, Utopia, Renaissance, Humanism.<br />
