This article focuses on 1512. In 1512 Cesare Borgia, a military man, Leonardo da Vinci, an inventor, and Niccolo Machiavelli, a politician, met. Borgia's military campaign to conquer northeastern Italy made it possible for these three intelligent men to meet. Borgia hired da Vinci as a military engineer and Machiavelli was sent by the government of Florence to spy on Borgia. The article talks of the interactions of the three men and reveals their personalities through their interactions and actions. This article was really interesting because it studied three powerful men from the sixteenth century that we usually don’t learn about as a trio. These men are compared and contrasted in the form of the story and through this the read sees the strength and weaknesses of each man.
