Set in Florence, Italy, in 1524, this is a comedy about the famous political thinker, Niccolo Machiavelli, told in a farcical style based on his own play The Mandrake ...

When the Medicis take control of Florence, Machiavelli is imprisoned and tortured and faces certain death

Working with his politically savvy wife, Marietta Corsini, Machiavelli does all he can do to circumvent the fickle and dangerous Guliano de Medici and his brutal war-loving nephew, Lorenzo de Medici

Surviving political intrigue and exile, Machiavelli finds inspiration in writing The Prince by watching the behavior of the world-weary Florentine major

In the end, all of his political teachings come home to haunt him when his own teenage daughter falls in love with the very man Machiavelli considers his hated enemy
