Abstract
Machiavelli’s advice to Lorenzo de’ Medici goes beyond the most conservative and traditional issues in political philosophy (Machiavelli, 2005)*. He does not restrict his reflections, unlike many authors who preceded and succeeded him, to the nature of Power or the forms that government must take. Nor does he indulge in what State or society should ideally be.
