Abstract
This paper is focused on Poliziano’s “Fabula di Orfeo”: probably the first vernacular play on a classical theme written in Italy. Its argumentation proceeds precising 1- the composition date and place of the drama in 1473-74 Florence (instead of 1480 Mantua of the current opinion); 2- the dramatic models present in the text (sacra rappresentazione and classical theatre); 3- the innovation of the “Fabula” in the context of the italian theatre of the Seventies; 4- its philosophical significance in relationship with neoplatonic theories circulating in Lorenzo the Magnificent’s cultural milieu
