| ''Music for Machiavelli'', a [[Folger Consort]] performance, took place from September 25-27 2019. Perhaps best known as the author of ''The Prince'', Niccolò Machiavelli walked the streets of Florence 500 years ago. He was a true Renaissance man–a philosopher, playwright, diplomat, and a poet. Along with the carnival songs Machiavelli wrote for the Medici family and music for his comedic stage play ''The Mandrake'', [[Folger Consort]] performed works by Francesco Bendusi, Josquin des Prez, Heinrich Isaac, and native composers of Northern Italy.

| A Collections [[Pop-up exhibitions at the Folger|pop-up exhibition]] in support of the performance was curated by Greg Prickman, the Eric Weinmann Librarian and Director of Collections, and took place prior to the performance on September 25 at 6pm, along with a discussion by Folger Director [[Michael Witmore]] and Dr. Christopher Celenza, Dean of Georgetown College at Georgetown University, on Machiavelli and his iconic political treatise, ''The Prince''. Following the discussion, Greg Prickman guided attendees through a selection of items from the Folger collections related to Machiavelli, ''The Prince,'' and early sixteenth-century Italy.<br/>
