The paper discuss the problem of Dante’s and Dino’s position towards the regime of Popolo. At this purpose it analyzes some points of their works. The political experience in the Florentine Popular Commune left few and ambiguous traces in Dante’s works: his attitude towards the Popolo can be badly distinguished from the cultural sense of superiority over the unreasonable common people and the increasingly strong critical detachment against Florence. The political discourse of Dino is more explicit and municipal: he criticizes factionalism and arrogance of the “magnati”, recognizing the dangerous value of some of them, but does not spare complaints in weakness and falsehood of the “popolani”.
