Which of these was the most influential work of the Italian Renaissance?

  1. The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli

  2. The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri

  3. La Vita Nuova by Dante Alighieri

  4. The Art of War by Sun Tzu

The correct answer is: The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli

"The Prince" by Niccolò Machiavelli is widely considered the most influential work of the Italian Renaissance due to its lasting impact on political theory and philosophy. While "The Divine Comedy" by Dante Alighieri and "La Vita Nuova" by Dante Alighieri were significant pieces of literature during the Italian Renaissance, they did not have the same level of impact on society and political thought as "The Prince." "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, although a notable work, originated in ancient China and did not influence the Italian Renaissance directly.
