It freaks me out for some reason to realise da Vinci and Machievelli must have known each other.
they more than knew each other, Da Vinci and Machievelli worked together on one of Da Vinci’s crazy ideas. He wanted to create a massive irrigation system for tax revenue for Florence and Machievelli wanted to use it to drain the city of Pisa’s water supply.

Machievelli u little shit. But that’s awesome!
also the background of the Mona Lisa is the same river that they tried to steal
This is so wild.
“Did you know Leonardo da Vinci and Machievelli tried to steal a river once?” will be my way of starting conversations with strangers at parties for the rest of my life. Thank you for making that possible, tumblr.
