Giovanni Antonio Palazzo

Giovanni Antonio Palazzo was an Italian writer on government and reason of state. Michel Foucault's 1977-1978 College de France lectures considered Palazzo's Discourse on Government and the true reason of state (1604), along with The Reason of State by Giovanni Botero, as examples of writings linking the art of government to reason of state in a new way around 1600.[1]
