Discourses on Livy, chaps. 26-27 (N. Machiavelli)
a new Prince, in a city or province taken from him, he ought to make all things new.
Whatever becomes of a prince or of a city or state, and the more fuss when its foundations are weak and it does not turn or because of the kingdom or republic to civilian life, the megliore remedy that he has to take that principle is, being he new prince, do everything in that state, again, as it is, in cities, making new governments with new names, with the new authorities, with more men make the rich poor, the poor rich Davit and as he did when he became king, "here esurientes implevit bonis, et divites dimisit inanes' build, Besides this, new cities, destroy the buildings, change your clothes from one place to another, and, in short, do not leave aught intact in that province and that there is neither able or order or condition, nor wealth, that he who holds not recognize you, and take up his aim to Philip of Macedon, father of Alexander, who, with these modes, a king, a prince of Greece. And who writes about him, said the men turned from province to province, and as' herdsmen transmuted their herds. These are the most cruel ways, and enemies of all life, not just Christian, but human and debbegli any man run away, and will rather private life, that king of men with ruin; nevertheless, who does not want to seize the first path of goodness, when you want to maintain that agrees to enter into this evil. But men blindside some ways of the middle, which are highly damaging, because they can not be neither all good nor all bad : as in the following chapter, for example, mosterrĂ .
know men very rarely be at all bad or all good.
Pope Julius the second, going in 1505 in Bologna, to hunt than was the 'house Bentivoglio, who had held the principality of that city one hundred years, he wanted to draw Giovampagolo Baglioni of Perugia, which was a tyrant, as that he had conspired against all tyrants who occupied the lands of the Church. It arrived at Perugia with this in mind and deliberation, each note, did not wait to get into that city with his army, who is watching, but entered unarmed, notwithstanding there Fusse Giovampagolo acquired influence with people far as to defend itself had Raguna. So that, led by the same fury with which governed all things, simply by its guard remix in the hands of the enemy, which he took with him afterwards, leaving a governor in that city, that would make it right for the Church. It was noted, by the wise men who were with the pope, the pope's rashness and cowardice of Giovampagolo, nor potevono estimating whence it was that what had not, to his everlasting fame, the enemy suddenly overwhelmed her, and enriched himself with booty, being all the cardinals with the pope, with all their delights. Neither one could believe it or abstained Fusse goodness or conscience that he considered it, because in a chest of a man ruffian, holding her sister, who had killed his cousins \u200b\u200band nephews to reign, could not get any pity from: but it was concluded, was born that men can not be honorably wicked or perfectly good, and, as an evil in itself has magnitude, or is in any part generous, and 'do not know how to get . So Giovampagolo, which was estimated to be no public incest and parricide, could not, or, rather, did not dare, having the right occasion to make a company where everyone had admired his mind, and he left himself eternal memory, being the first who had demonstrated a 'tax rate as both estimate just like them who lives and reigns, and I did one thing, the size of which had exceeded all shame, all danger, from which he could depend.
