The Renaissance began in Italy because Italy's central location provided a good setting for commerce, so trade revived there first and Italy had been the center of the Roman Empire and the ancient ruins reminded people of Rome's greatness.

After many obscure years during Medieval times, the Renaissance represented a new time of bright ideas, great artists, and works of art in architecture, painting, and sculpture. The beginning and the center of the Renaissance was the city-state of Florence, in Italy, a place full of artists and beautiful buildings and churches with incredible pieces of art. Wealthy and powerful families such as de Medici sponsored many artists.

Great men of that time were Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Raphael.
