Niccolò Machiavelli was born in Florence. Throughout his
life, he was a diplomat, politician, historian, and writer.
Machiavelli served the Florentine republic as secretary and second
chancellor from 1498 to 1512 while the Medici family was out of
power. His most famous work, The Prince, was a written attempt to
re-ingratiate himself with the Medicis when they returned to
power.
Christopher S. Celenza is the author or editor of seven
books and more than forty scholarly articles or book chapters in
the fields of Italian Renaissance history, post-classical Latin
literature, and philosophy. His most recent book, Machiavelli: A
Portrait, was published by Harvard University Press in 2015.
