[MR] BBC: Machiavelli's Secret Tunnel

[Garth Groff via Atlantia]

Noble Friends,

Today the BBC is offering a very interesting little travel piece on the 
secret tunnel which connected the famed author Niccolò Machiavelli's 
country house to a seedy tavern where he drank, gambled, possibly 
wenched, and studied human behavior while writing his famous book THE 
PRINCE. Machiavelli was exiled from Florence by the Medicis, and was 
allowed to stay on a humble farm not far from the city. The tunnel 
allowed the disguised author to visit the tavern in secrecy. The house 
is now a museum to Machiavelli, and the tavern remains in all its 
medieval glory. Enjoy the story and photos at
