Nicolo Machiavelli was born at Florence on 3rd May 1469.

니콜로 마키아벨리는 1469년 5월 3일 피렌체에서 태어났습니다.

He was the second son of Bernardo di Nicolo Machiavelli, a lawyer of some repute, and of Bartolommea di Stefano Nelli, his wife.

그는 명망 있는 변호사인 베르나르도 디 니콜로 마키아벨리와 그의 아내인 바르톨로메아 디 스테파노 넬리의 둘째 아들이었습니다.

Both parents were members of the old Florentine nobility.

부모 모두 옛 피렌체 귀족 출신이었습니다.

His life falls naturally into three periods, each of which singularly enough constitutes a distinct and important era in the history of Florence.

그의 삶은 자연스럽게 세 시기로 나뉘는데, 각 시기는 피렌체 역사에서 독특하고 중요한 시대를 이루고 있습니다.

His youth was concurrent with the greatness of Florence as an Italian power under the guidance of Lorenzo de’ Medici, Il Magnifico.

그의 젊은 시절은 로렌초 데 메디치, 일 마니피코의 지도 아래 이탈리아 강대국으로서 피렌체가 위대했던 시기와 겹쳤습니다.

The downfall of the Medici in Florence occurred in 1494, in which year Machiavelli entered the public service.

피렌체에서 메디치 가문의 몰락은 1494년에 일어났는데, 그 해에 마키아벨리는 공직에 입문했습니다.

During his official career Florence was free under the government of a Republic, which lasted until 1512, when the Medici returned to power, and Machiavelli lost his office.

그의 공직 생활 동안 피렌체는 공화정 정부 하에서 자유로웠으며, 이는 메디치 가문이 권력을 되찾고 마키아벨리가 직위를 잃은 1512년까지 지속되었습니다.

The Medici again ruled Florence from 1512 until 1527, when they were once more driven out.

메디치 가문은 1512년부터 1527년까지 다시 피렌체를 통치하다가 다시 쫓겨났습니다.
