This paper aims to reflect upon and investigate what is meant strictly speaking by the term "Omnipotence"; specifically, what it entails to posit the existence of a real Omnipotent being. Such a being, therefore, cannot be subject to what he does not will or, in other words, can bring about anything logically possible that he wants, since that which is contradictory can beneither real, nor imagined, nor, consequently, willed. The approach will be strictly philosophical, eschewing commonplace drifts, devotional intents, or moral judgments in favor of conceptual clarity.Based on this analysis, we will finally cover each of the following issues:can there be an Almighty being who is also good and understandable? If so, could He abolish or sacrifice evil in the world?****Questo contributo si propone di riflettere e indagare su cosa debba intendersi stricto sensu con il termine "Onnipotenza", cioè cosa comportisupporre l’esistenza di un essere reale onnipotente, il quale non può quindi subire ciò che non vuole o, il che è lo stesso, può realizzare qualsiasi cosa di logicamente possibile voglia, non potendo essere reale né immaginato, né quindi voluto, ciò che è contraddittorio.L’approccio sarà strettamente filosofico, evitando così derive banali, intenti devozionali o giudizi morali a favore della chiarezza concettuale.Sulla base di questa analisi, tratteremo infine ciascuna delle seguenti questioni: è possibile che un essere Onnipotente sia anche buono ecomprensibile? Se sì, potrebbe abolire o sacrificare il male nel mondo?
