Borgia refers to the powerful Italian noble family during the Renaissance, particularly known for their political intrigue and ruthlessness. Machiavelli, on the other hand, was a political philosopher and writer, best known for his work "The Prince," which offers advice on governance and the use of power. While the Borgias were a specific family known for their actions, Machiavelli's work is more broadly applicable to political theory.
Machiavelli saw Cesare Borgia, the ruler of the Papal States, as the role model for his perfect prince. Borgia was known for his ruthlessness and political strategies, which Machiavelli admired and sought to emulate in his work "The Prince."
Leonardo da Vinci, Nicolo Machiavelli, Roderigo Borgia, and Michelangelo.
The key difference is that while Giotto was a painter, Machiavelli was a writer.
Machiavelli uses historical figures such as Cesare Borgia and Agathocles of Syracuse to showcase his political theories in "The Prince." Borgia exemplifies the successful ruthlessness and cunning that Machiavelli believes a ruler needs, while Agathocles demonstrates the use of violence to establish power. These examples serve to illustrate Machiavelli's pragmatic approach to politics, prioritizing effectiveness over moral considerations.
The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli listed many earlier political figures, both good and bad, but made reference to the powerful Borgia and Medici families (each of which eventually included a Pope).
Machiavelli studied figures such as Cesare Borgia, a powerful Italian statesman and military leader, as inspiration for "The Prince." He also drew upon his own experiences working in Florentine politics to develop his ideas on effective leadership and governance.
Niccolo Machiavelli modeled The Prince after Cesare Borgia. Cesare was the son of Pope Alexander VI and he and Machiavelli knew each other well. At one point, he had hopes that Cesare would unite Italy and drive out the foreign invaders, France and Spain.

Cesare Borgia was Machiavelli's model for The Prince. He advised Cesare on at least several occasions, and aspired for him to unite Italy under his rule and defeat the invading French and Spanish armies.
The painting you are referring to is not a painting the of the Borgia clan. It is titled "Cardinal Bandinello Sauli, His Secretary, and Two Geographers" by Sebastiano del Piombo in 1516. Clues that it is a minor hoax are easy to spot if you know where to look. The figure alleged to be Machiavelli looks nothing like other portraits painted during his association with these men. Furthermore, Machiavelli was only a second chancellor of common birth assign to the vatican as an ambassador. Yet he is granted more focus than Cesare, who was a duke. Although "Pedro" is holding his gloves as a mark of distinction and "Niccolo" has his hand on a book, to denote great knowledge. "Cesare" is not even wearing his official ceremonial beret, as seen in his more famous portraits. On top of that, the relationship of these men at that time was friendly but tense. I could understand someone snapping a group photo of these men working together. But having them sit together for hours on end for a portrait? No way. and who would pay for it, other than Cesare, and if he commisioned a group portrait of his coworkers, then why would he be barely in frame in the background? There are in fact two paintings of the same subject: or an origina and a copy one , attributed to Sebasiano del Piombo is at the National Gallery of Washington, and is labelled as Cardinal Bandinello Sauli (The handbell reports the letters B DE SAULIS CAR.
