Abstract

In order to combat arbitrary interpretations that make Machiavelli in a "monument" of Western culture and The Prince in a work full of excessive responsibility, this article brings us back to the author's biographical time. We analyze the specific context (Florentine in the first place) in which Machiavelli lived and wrote The Prince, a short treatise that today seems to have lost its most authentic historical sense. Besides this biographical immersion, the article discusses issues relating to the composition, flow, content and fortune of The Prince.
