Das Wort “Renaissance” ist Französisch und bedeutet “Wiedergeburt”. Der Name bezieht sich auf den Zeitraum zwischen dem 14. und 17. Jahrhundert, als Europa ein ausgeprägtes Wiederaufkommen der klassischen Kunst, Bildung, Philosophie, Architektur und Naturwissenschaft erlebte. Die ehemaligen römischen Gebiete machten sich abermals die Schriften der antiken Griechen und Römer und die Idee des Humanismus zum Vorbild. Die Wiedergeburt dieser Kultur war ein Zeichen für das Ende des Mittelalters und den Anfang der Moderne.

The effects of the Italian Renaissance are still with us today, from the incomparable paintings of Leonardo da Vinci to the immortal writings of Petrarch and Machiavelli. But why was there such an artistic, cultural, and intellectual explosion in Italy at the start of the 14th century? Why did it occur in Italy?
