I" by Pasquale Villari is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work offers a detailed exploration of Machiavelli's life, the political context of his time, and the evolution of his ideas, drawing upon newly available historical documents. It seeks to shed light on the complexities surrounding Machiavelli's character, his writings, and the historical events that influenced his thoughts and political theories. At the start of the volume, Villari introduces the contentious legacy of Machiavelli, who is often seen as either a promoter of tyranny or a defender of Republican values. The introduction discusses the long-standing debates regarding his character, reflecting the conflicting interpretations of his works over the years. Villari emphasizes the historical and cultural setting of the Renaissance in Italy, explaining the societal shifts and political turbulence that shaped both Machiavelli's life and his contributions to political thought. He aims to present a balanced view of Machiavelli, neither as an apologist nor as a critic, but as a complex figure deeply influenced by the tumultuous times in which he lived.
