Niccolò Machiavelli was an Italian diplomat, philosopher, and writer, best known for his political treatise, "The Prince." Born in Florence in 1469, Machiavelli's career spanned a tumultuous period in Italian history marked by political instability. His experiences in the Florentine Republic and interactions with various political figures profoundly shaped his views on power and governance. In "The Prince," he famously advocates for pragmatic, sometimes ruthless, approaches to statecraft, emphasizing the importance of realpolitik over idealism.
