This is poor. First, Machiavelli doesn't 'theorize' the concept of virtu. Secondly, the word is simply the Italian word for virtue. Machiavelli uses the word in a surprising way that has a lot to do with his theoretical innovations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.13.178.40 ( talk) 14:02, 7 February 2016 (UTC) reply

As 78.13.178.40 said. 'Virtù' is nothing but the Italian word for 'virtue', and Machiavelli just happens to write in Italian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.190.204.73 ( talk) 17:02, 19 November 2017 (UTC) reply
