Summary/Abstract: The paper seeks to present the forms of legitimacy, as well as the means and tools that have been used for this purpose by usurping authority over Milan Ludovico Sforza. The attempts to legitimate the illegally seized power, taken by the Renaissance and early modern rulers, not only by political meanse, but also through cultural and artistic patronage are very important and interesting issues. The first part of the paper discusses the Ludovico’s road to take over the principality; in the second part Ludovico’s efforts to legalize his illegal power are described.
