Abstract
This essay relates the philosophy of Vico and that of Benjamin. It starts from a philosophical strategy common to both thinkers, analyzing the political theology present in the thought of each of them. Two pictures - Vico's "Dipintura Allegorica" and Klee's "Angelus Novus", are the background to all this analysis.
