Ese momento surrealista, viendo un docu en italiano sobre "Maquiavelo" en el que descubres que su nombre real era #NiccolòMachiavelli (Toda mi vida pronunciándolo mal sin saberlo: el colmo de una friki idiomil 💔). ¿Por que se cambió? ¿Qué problema había con la i?
Mio Dio, che vergogna! 😳

Read: Niccolò Machiavelli's Il Principe (1532, but written in 1513, translated unbeautifully by Norman Stone).
A seminal political treatise but not read much today, I think, because it's so very roundabout and archaic. Still: ticked off the list.
