Machiavelli's life is intricately tied to the political upheavals of Florence, spanning three significant eras. His youth coincided with the height of Florentine power under Lorenzo de' Medici. Following the Medici's fall in 1494, he served the Republic until their return in 1512, which marked the end of his public career. This tumultuous backdrop fueled his literary contributions and growing influence, culminating in his death shortly after the Medici's final expulsion in 1527, leaving a lasting legacy in political thought.
