Early Life Born on March 6, 1475, in a town near Arezzo, in Tuscany, Michelangelo lived a comfortable life during his childhood. His family were bankers in Florence, but his father decided to enter a government post when the bank industry failed.

Rome

Michelangelo, in full Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, (born March 6, 1475, Caprese, Republic of Florence [Italy]—died February 18, 1564, Rome, Papal States), Italian Renaissance sculptor, painter, architect, and poet who exerted an unparalleled influence on the development of Western art.

Michelangelo (1475-1564) A few weeks after his birth, the family moved to Florence. In 1488, Michelangelo was apprenticed to the painter Domenico Ghirlandaio. He then lived in the household of Lorenzo de’ Medici, the leading patron of the arts in Florence.

67 years (1452–1519)

Michelangelo and Leonardo certainly met. Leonardo was the older of the two by more than 20 years. One story of them meeting is told in the anonymous Codice Magliabecchiano manuscript.

Although Vasari mentions Leonardo’s attempts to divert the river, only 20 years ago were maps discovered in Madrid indicating that while in Borgia’s employ Leonardo had carefully studied the headwaters of the Arno.

The Gonfaloniere Signoria asked Leonardo to conduct a feasibility study of the river project. Leonardo was well qualified for the job, having earlier drawn elaborate plans to divert the Arno in another direction for peaceful purposes. Those plans were never carried out.

For seven years now, Florence had been enmeshed in a costly war with Pisa that had entered a stalemate. But Leonardo and Machiavelli were hatching a plan that was guaranteed to bring Pisa to its knees. Their idea was to divert Pisa’s lifeline, the Arno river.

• Guns with an array of horizontal barrels and gun with three racks of barrels.
• Giant Crossbow (ballista) (s).
• Machine for hurling stones and bombs. (

The river Arno was the main water source for Florence, as well as for Pisa. By stealing the Arno, Machiavelli and da Vinci hoped to not only deprive Pisa of the ability to grow their own crops, bathe, and stay alive, but to irrigate the farmlands of Florence, and turn a profit by selling the water to local farmers.

He is the teenage apprentice of Leonardo da Vinci. He is portrayed by Eros Vlahos….Niccolò Machiavelli.

Someone Machiavellian is sneaky, cunning, and lacking a moral code. The word comes from the Italian philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli, who wrote the political treatise The Prince in the 1500s, that encourages “the end justifies the means” behavior, especially among politicians.

(Derp, can’t spell in Italian) Machiavelli wrote lots of books, and it makes more sense for a different one of those books to be about Ezio. The Prince also said the exact opposite of the Assassins’ beliefs.

The canon reason of death of Ezio is heart attack. So in my personal headcanon the Templar saw that his old mentor was dying and even though they are opposite sides decided to somewhat comfort his old mentor at his time of passing and give him his respects.

However, unlike in Florence, La Volpe refused to cooperate with Niccolò Machiavelli, calling him a traitor to the Assassin cause.
