GAY PROJECT
Vettori’s speech seems to allu more to heterosexual adventur, both of Machiavelli and Vettori, both very ee sexual behavr, rather than to homosexualy, but, as we will see, Machiavelli certaly did not disda even homosexual adventur and probably a siar disurse uld also be done for Vettori.
The accatn is about sodomy but wh a woman, the vox populi (popular mor) who tri to discred Machiavelli, a polilly important man, married and wh several children, do not therefore nta any reference to homosexualy, which would have been, on the other hand, not very credible. Machiavelli remembers that Vettori had wrten four vers about a certa Ricc (“a guy wh curly hair”), a guy available to homosexual ntacts, also ditg the nam of those who had been put “ berta” (had been ridiculed) bee they had gone wh Ricc.
Machiavelli reced those vers om memory to Gvanni Machiavelli, th accg him of homosexual activi. Gvanni Machiavelli took badly and tried to sist, sayg “that he do not know where you have found that he touch (touchg means havg homosexual relatnships the cryptic jargon of Florente homosexuals)”.
LETTERS TO THE TIM : ‘MACHIAVELLI AND THE ENOLA GAY’
Vettori had not acced Gvanni Machiavelli of homosexualy, but was Niclò who, by changg the nam, had given the imprsn that stead he had done so. So, then, Machiavelli wrote to Vettori that had shown him that he was worried about the fact that havg hosted his hoe ser Sano, a well-known homosexual, uld discred him through the gossip of Filippo Casavecchia, and explas to Vettori that Filippo Casavecchia, another well-known homosexual and iend of Machiavelli, would never have cricized Vettori even if ser Sano had remaed at his hoe om one jubilee to another, and ed he would have ngratulated Vettori for the choice. And the Brancc then, another well-known homosexual iend of Machiavelli, wouldn’t have dared to ment even if Vettori had taken home the whole brothel of Valencia, ed he would have nsired him a great man more for this than if he had seen him talk better than Demosthen before the Pope.
