Notes

Fantoni wrote this essay to win the competition around the question posed by the Milan authorities: 'What is the best government for the Cisalpine Republic?'. The opening Preambolo, Dichiarazione dei diritti and the constitutional laws are a loose translation of 1793 Costitution, with interpolations and expansions from the translator. See, Armando Saitta, "Alle origini del Risorgimento: i testi di un celebre concorso (1796)", Istituto storico italiano per l’età moderna e contemporanea, Roma, 1964, vol. I, 177-205, translation pp. 183-195; on Fantoni, see G. Sforza, Contributo alla vita di Giovanni Fantoni, Genova, 1907, p. 97-105.
