The life of Nicolo Machiavelli is intricately tied to the tumultuous history of Florence, marked by the rise and fall of the Medici family. His early years coincided with Florence's peak under Lorenzo de' Medici, followed by his entry into public service during the Republic's brief existence. Machiavelli's literary contributions emerged during the Medici's second rule, culminating in a significant influence on political thought. He passed away shortly after their final expulsion, leaving a legacy shaped by the dynamic political landscape of his time.
