Dante Alighieri and Niccolò Machiavelli were men with common experiences, although the two centuries that set them apart. Both were born in Florence, rendered services in the spheres of government from that city, and, subsequently, both had lived in exile, a time when they had dedicated themselves to writing political works that embraced their empirical experiences as well as their theoretical framework from which they had intellectual bases according to the prevailing trend at the time. Ideals of virtue dated back to the ancient philosophers and the notion of historical cycles that resounded since then, the mysticism of the medieval political body, the Christian analogies, the ambitions of universalists and particularists princes from Later Middle Ages and the dawn of Renaissance, the schools of thought of Scholasticism and Humanism, the Republicanism from the North Italy in the beginnings of Modern period, all of this is part of what is called here “cultures of power”, present in the long-term of ideas and of speeches that tried to decode it or to define it. Dante and Machiavelli were, which one in his way, characters that articulated these cultures of power according to the context in which they lived. In addition, a third character figures as amalgam of such personalities: the city of Florence itself, tangible and abstract witness of the speeches, experiences and temporalities featured in these relations scrutinized here. Therefore, this research intends to investigate how it is possible to draw a parallel between these historical subjects, perceiving how they articulated practices and representations of the cultures of power in their writings, and understanding, through them, that Power and History are inseparable, despite the plurality of interpretations over time
