Question: Who both inflated the Florentine Republic and was born on May 3, 1496?
Context: Bartolomeo Scala (1430–1497) was an Italian politician, author and historian.  Born in Colle Val d'Elsa, he became a protégé of Cosimo and Piero de' Medici, being appointed at the highest positions in the Florentine Republic (Chancellor, Secretary, Gonfaloniere and Priore). Pope Leo X (11 December 1475 – 1 December 1521), born Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici, was Pope from 9 March 1513 to his death in 1521.  The second son of Lorenzo the Magnificent, ruler of the Florentine Republic, he was elevated to the cardinalate in 1489. The military reforms of the Florentine Republic were initiated by Florentine politician and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli during the short-lived Republic of Florence that lasted from 1498 to 1512 under the priest Girolamo Savonarola.  In the pursuit of the republican spirit which pervaded Florence at the time, Machiavelli sought to establish a military establishment that was similar to that of ancient Rome.  He was specifically focused upon the establishment of an army possessed with the discipline of the Roman legions.  He sought to establish a citizen-infantry capable of taking the field against the Italian Condottieri of the day, who largely terrorized the peninsula, in addition to the chronic foreign invasions which occurred on a regular basis at this time.  Broadly speaking Machiavelli would institute a series of reforms in 1506 that would create a citizen army of 20,000 men, and establish a system that would keep this citizen army in a state of readiness. Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli (] ; 3 May 1469 – 21 June 1527) was an Italian diplomat, politician, historian, philosopher, humanist, and writer of the Renaissance period.  He has often been called the father of modern political science.  He was for many years a senior official in the Florentine Republic, with responsibilities in diplomatic and military affairs.  He also wrote comedies, carnival songs, and poetry.  His personal correspondence is renowned in the Italian language.  He was secretary to the Second Chancery of the Republic of Florence from 1498 to 1512, when the Medici were out of power.  He wrote his most renowned work "The Prince" ("Il Principe") in 1513. Andrew Suknaski (July 30, 1942 – May 3, 2012) was a Canadian poet and visual artist.

His first collection was "Wood Mountain Poems" (1976), edited by Purdy, followed by "The Ghosts Call You Poor" (1978) and "In The Name of Narid" (1981).  "Ghosts" won him the Canadian Authors’ Association Poetry Award in 1979.  Suknaski also worked as a researcher for the National Film Board of Canada, contributing to such films as "Grain Elevator" (1981), by Charles Konowal, and "The Disinherited" (1985), by Harvey Spak.  In 1978, Spak made a documentary about Suknaski, "Wood Mountain Poems".  Suknaski’s Polish and Ukrainian heritage, his concern for First Nations people and for the history and culture of the Canadian Prairies are strongly reflected in his work.
