2. The Godfathers of the Renaissance Ep 4
Duke of Florence is murdered—his cousin, another Cosimo takes his place (17 years old)
Marries a Spanish princess…brings an army as a dowry
Cosimo uses it to conquer his neighbors—Siena falls, the rest of Tuscany falls in line.
Cosimo uses art to publicize his success.
Vasari ordered to create works of art, an area for a centralized administration (Uffizi), and caps off his career with the first work of “Art History” by compiling the “Lives of the Artists”
As practices begin to collide with the Church, the Medici choose the Church
The innovation has waned and the Renaissance in Italy begins to fade—yet is it still present.
Other families attempted, but none matched the legacy of the Medici, GODFATHERS OF THE RENAISSANCE

3. Politics Think about what Medieval Politics looked like…Feudalism
Are “politics” and “power” the same thing?
In groups—discuss an explanation of your group’s position…write it in your INDIVIDUAL notes

4. Niccolo Machiavelli One of his most well known quotes:
The original in Italian : “si guarda al fine”
Most often translated as “the end justifies the means.”

5. Niccolo Machiavelli One of his most well known quotes:
The original in Italian : “si guarda al fine”
But also can be translated as:
"and in the actions of all men, and especially of princes, where there is no impartial arbiter, one must consider the final result."

6. Groups: For each Machiavelli thought…write in your own “vernacular”
Everyone sees what you appear to be , few feel what you are, and those few will not dare to oppose themselves to the many

7. For the vulgar is always taken by appearances and the issue of the event; and the world consists only of the vulgar, and the few who are not vulgar are isolated when the many have a rally point in the prince.

8. one ought to be both feared and loved…
...one ought to be both feared and loved….but it is much safer to be feared than loved because ...love is preserved by the link of obligation which, owing to the baseness of men, is broken at every opportunity for their advantage; but fear preserves you by a dread of punishment which never fails.

9. “The promise given was a necessity of the past: the word broken is a necessity of the present.”

Shameless “Plug”

11. The Best Way to do Things: “Break with Medieval Political Theory”
Respond to these in your individual notes…
What is politics (or the state) to Machiavelli?
What should “The Prince” or any other leader be concerned with?
What do you think the Church might have thought of Machiavelli’s writings? Why?

12. Machiavelli and the birth of modern politics
“Machiavellian” has made its way into the English language as an adjective that means: characterized by subtle or unscrupulous cunning, deception, expediency, or dishonesty.
