Nicolo Machiavelli Niccol Machiavelli (May 3, 1469-June 21, 1527) was born in Florence. He was an Italian statesman, historian, and political scholar. He worked as a diplomat for 14 years, and later he interacted with the most impressive figures in Europe. His popular omposition, The Prince, written in 1513 and published in 1532, is a handbook for rulers. However, devoted to Lorenzo de Medici, leader of Florence from 1513, it failed to win Machiavelli's favor. Machiavelli saw The Prince as an objective portrayal of political reality. His different works include a bunch of discourses for Livy in 1518, the comedy The Mandrake in 1518, The Art of War in 1521, and the Florentine Histories in 1525. Read More Read Less
