Machiavelli was appointed as secretary and second Chancellor of .......

  • A.Republic of Siena
  • B.Republic of Florentine
  • C.Republic of Geneva
  • D.Republic of Venice

Answer: B

The answer is Republic of Florentine, that is, the Florentine Republic.

In 1498, after the fall of Savonarola, Niccolo Machiavelli was appointed head of the Second Chancery of the Republic of Florence and secretary to the Ten of War, the body that handled the city's diplomacy and military affairs. He served until the Medici returned in 1512.

Siena and Venice were separate Italian republics with which Florence dealt as rivals or partners, and Geneva was a Swiss city-republic associated with Calvin. Machiavelli held office in none of them.
