Students read Machiavelli's great work, The Prince, and produced projects demonstrating their understanding of Machiavelli's political treatise. Many of them are incredibly well produced, some of them are funny, but all of them are insightful. The exhibit is located on the second floor in the flat cases of the Berkeley Public Library. Please go and see the work of your classmates and friends during the month of September.
