His most famous work, The Prince, remains a fundamental reference for understanding the exercise of power.
Thanks to his grandson, Giovanni Ricci, much of his correspondence and personal writings were preserved for posterity.
His final resting place is in the iconic church of Santa Croce in his native Florence.
