| ''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.

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/>
