Niccolò Machiavelli was born in Florence in 1469 and is recognized as one of the most influential political philosophers in history.

His most famous work, The Prince, is a fundamental treatise on political science and ethics in the exercise of power.

Beyond his writing, he played an active role as a diplomat in the turbulent Florence of the Renaissance.

His grandson, Giovanni Ricci, was a key figure in preserving much of his epistolary and literary legacy for posterity.

His remains rest in the iconic church of Santa Croce, in his native Florence.
