In the Consolatoria, the Accusatoria and the Defensoria, Guicciardini imagines that a tribunal has accused him of misappropriation. He delivers a reflection on his responsibilities as political participant during the Sack of Rome; more than an examination of conscience, he poses questions concerning the link between morality and politics.

Review - French Decouvertes au XIXsiecle, laConsolatoria, l'Accusatoriaet laDefensoriareplongent le lecteur dans les coulisses des guerres d'Italie. Redigees en 1527, elles en font revivre l'episode le plus dramatique, le sac de Rome. Leur auteur, a la tete des armees du pape Clement VII, est soupconne par les Florentins d'etre a l'origine de cette catastrophe ; pour la premiere fois dans sa brillante carriere diplomatique, il est prive de toute fonction et compose ces discours dans lesquels il imagine qu'un tribunal mis en place pour juger les ennemis de la Republique l'accuse de concussion. Depassant le cadre autobiographique, ces textes sont une reflexion sur les responsabilites d'un acteur politique et sur le lien entre morale et monde politique.
