between
Savonarola and Machiavelli by Maurice Cranston
Production by Douglas Cleverdon
Whether Savonarola and Machiavelli met and talked in the last months of the friar's life is a matter of conjecture; but such an interview might have taken place in 1498 in the prison cell where Savonarola, having offended the Pope and forfeited his political power to his enemies, was awaiting execution.
