Abstract

The article deals with Petrarch and Boccaccio's reflections about the suicide of Cato the Younger. After his youthful doubts, at the beginning of the 1350s Petrarch condemned Cato's suicide, supported by the historical-philological view which he had recently defined. Boccaccio had dissented for a long time, but in the Esposizioni he finally accepted his master's opinion, clearly distancing himself from two auctoritates such as Dante and Seneca
