Niccolo Macchiaveli Uffizi Galery Florence



Niccolo Macchiaveli
1469-1527

In the late 1400’s, the Medici family lost power in Florence. Niccolo Machiavelli served in the new Florentine governing power structure, rising to a high position. In about 1512, the Medici’s regained their power base in Florence. Machiavelli, not in their favor, devoted the remainder of his life to writing. There is some speculation that his books were aimed at securing a de Medici patron. His most famous book, The Prince, is dedicated to ' Magnificent Lorenzo Di Piero De' Medici'.
