Question

Italy was not unified during the Renaissance. It was divided into many city states and small countries.

Answer 1

In this period, which we call the Early Renaissance, Florence is not a city in the unified country of Italy, as it is now. Instead, Italy was divided into many city-states (Florence, Milan, Venice etc.), each with their own government (some were ruled by despots, and others were republics).

Answer 2

The description given in the above question is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Italy during the Renaissance period was not as unified as one nation. Renaissance was a period which tried to break from the medieval period and gave rise to individualism and humanism. Before Italy became a nation, it divided into small city-states which had its ruler. Italians identified with their local regions such as Florence and Rome. Florence, Venice, Milan, Naples, and Rome were some of the wealthiest city-states during the Renaissance period. It was during the 1800s when a sense of nationalism was emerging among the people who wanted to unify city-state as one.
