In welcoming and sharing the spirit of celebration for the bicentenary of Mazzei’s death, this essay wants to investigate Mazzei’s political life and thought inside the “illuminist” intellectual debate. His writings offer an important source to better understand historical upheavals at national and international level. Liberal with a solid aversion for any arbitrary exercise of power, Mazzei represents the New Man of the 1700’s, one of the protagonists of that kind of new political and intellectual season, full of innovative impulses and a new way of conceiving humanity.
