🧵 We have a new pope, the 267th!

But who is he? Let’s get to know Robert Francis Prevost, Leo XIV.

133 cardinals have spoken. Black smoke turned white, and a new name echoes across St. Peter’s Square.

Viva il Papa! 🕊 ↓

Born in 1955 on Chicago’s South Side, Prevost’s journey began at St. Mary of the Assumption church, a humble parish bordering Dolton. A polyglot and Augustinian, he studied canon law and served as a missionary in Peru, later becoming a naturalized citizen there.

Prevost spent decades in Peru, leading the diocese of Chiclayo and earning a reputation as a pastor for the poor. Elevated to cardinal in 2023 by Pope Francis, he now heads the Vatican’s Dicastery for Bishops, shaping the Church’s global leadership.

Europe’s oldest cities aren’t just relics — they’re time machines where history and modern life collide.

Niccolò Machiavelli was a diplomat, philosopher, and writer whose name became synonymous with cunning politics.

But who was the man behind The Prince?

Let’s explore his life in Renaissance Florence — a world of intrigue, art, and power. 🧵 ↓

Born on May 3, 1469, in Florence, Machiavelli grew up in a modest family during the height of the Renaissance. His father, a lawyer, ensured young Niccolò studied the classics. Livy, Cicero, and Thucydides shaped his razor-sharp mind.

Florence in the 1490s was a cultural supernova — think Botticelli’s paintings and Michelangelo’s early works.

But it was also politically unstable.

The Medici ruled until 1494, when a radical preacher, Savonarola, briefly seized control with his fiery sermons. Machiavelli watched it all unfold.
