I actually tried to read The Prince years ago. I seem to recall that Machiavelli describes Cesare Borgia (Valentino) as a perfect prince who nevertheless fails. Do peremohi!
I think you'd rather like his "Discourses on Livy." It's actually written like a proper political science treatise, & it advocates a more balanced perspective. Granted, Machiavelli's disdain for the common folk is still prevalent, but he adheres to Roman-style republicanism, which means a balance between the common folk, the aristocrats, & the monarch.
I have read that "The Prince" was written by Machiavelli as part of requesting a position with a Prince. If so I would say the style and subject matter would fit. The Prince reads like an introduction to a subject for further careful study....
like how he understood what it took to be a leader. just imagine his reaction if he met vlad the impaler, he'd be more fearful of dracula more than cesare borgia.
Machiavelli would've had a mixed reaction towards Vlad the Impaler. Vlad did things that would've impressed Machiavelli, but also did things Machiavelli would've frowned upon. While Vlad used fear, it was at times borderline hatred, and Vlad used Mercenaries, which Machiavelli would not have been impressed by.
@@artofwrick He despised the recent ones at his time, other than Lorenzo the Magnificent. The intro/dedication at the beginning of his book was an insult to the Medici that imprisoned him.

The series was great, perhaps not perfect, but great. However, Machiavelli's portrayal was utterly perfect.

the only flaw he saw was he wrote that he was a prince that acquired power by virtue of another (his father). So a 90% endorsement!

@GabrielRodriguesYT for me all, though I'm from Oslo Norway now living in America I'd say George Washington back home I'd say Erik the Red

He's so cool!!!
This is a good compilation.....of Machiavelli.
A lesson for common people, a political lesson for some.....
Well, I must admit that this channel is notorious.

Ezio auditore da firenze 🤲
Such a good show. Pissed Netflix took it off of the Canadian site
Ironic seeing as Cesare is played by a Canadian
Took it from the US too sadly.
what show is this?
@@tripelon "The Borgias"
(Not to be confused with another show called Borgia)
It stars Jeremy Irons as Pope Alexander
@@tripelon ua-cam.com/video/bQZ9CHtImDM/v-deo.html
why he is so old here Machiavelli is like only 6 years older then Cesare
They need to make a movie/show about him
Can you make it with gulia farnese? And rodrigo borgia?! That's fire!!
Fantastic
