Abstract
Juluis II was a very important and controversial renaissance’s pope. He got his fame because he did great efforts to organize the government of Rome and the Pontifical states; to drive out the estrange powers from Italian territory; and mainly because his militarism, by which he led personally important military campaigns. However, to the objective of this paper, the figure of Julius II was significant because his papacy (1503-1513) coincide almost syn-chronously with the period in which Machavelli served as a holder of the Second chancery (1498-1512), when he could observe nearby the roman curia and the same Juluis, specially when he was send there as a diplomatic envoy. Thanks to this proximity and familiarity Machiavelli could mature his political opinión about the confronted trobles by Italy to unify the country, one of the the most important was the same Pontifical states and the pope, specially someone like Julius II, who actually and in spite of himself obstructed the Machiavelli’s yearn objective; the Italy’s unification
