Answer 2

The correct answer is A. The wealthiest people

Step-by-step explanation:

Italian cities became so wealthy because they could pay for painters, sculptors, and architects to generate new works.

Thus, trade gave the city-states a new status. An example of this is Venice, which was considered the most powerful city-state in Italy because it specialized in shipping. In this way, it could take control over the different trade routes through the Mediterranean Sea.

Another Italian city-states during the 11th century were: Milan, Florence, Genoa, Pisa, Lucca, Cremona, Siena, Città di Castello and Perugia.
