Lorenzo de Medici: Machiavelli or Michelangelo?

Florence in the era of Lorenzo de Medici is a contradictory city. A dictator who governed the artistic splendor and the republic from the city street. Florentine plowed the magnificence of Primavera of Botticelli and the harsh realism of Prince Machiavelli. Lorenzo de Medici, the de facto ruler of the city, best reflects this contradiction. Both were Machiavelli and were planning to threaten, betray, fraud, and exercise power. And poet and artist Michelangelo inspired the beginning of the Renaissance.

Prince by Machiavelli is a much famous and important piece of Machiavelli. Machiavelli began this wonderful work in 1513 after exile from Florence. At The Prince, Machiavelli dedicated it to Lorenzo de Medici. Interestingly, the lineup of the Medici family represents invalid leadership that Machiavelli did not like The Prince. - The Prince of Machiavelli is widely interpreted as a representative of the political acts of violence and fraud. Therefore, the term "Machiavelli" must be associated with jealousy, ruthlessness, power politics. The question of whether Machiavelli can be regarded as Machiavelli himself is difficult to solve because his claim in "Prince" and "Discourse" is complicated.

Machiavell spent considerable time in the Prince to discuss the need to deal with wealth. What is wealth? How does Machiavelli recommend Lorenzo de Medici to handle it?

Niccolo Machiavelli was an Italian diplomat in the early 16th century. During his exile, Machiavelli educated himself and spent most of his time to write political papers in the history of Rome. In the meantime, he wrote to Lorenzo de Medici, hoping to exile him and get approval from the Medici. This message was interpreted as a guide to become a successful ruler. The Prince of Machiavelli discussed the way the Prince should live to maintain power. - John Maxwell once said, "People buy a leader before buying a vision." The leader must have a firm foundation as a person before he can seek his vision from the public. He will examine the characteristics, style, characteristics etc of leadership from every angle. All these fields of leadership are gathered in the integrity we know.
