Question

1. What was Florence like in the 14th and 15th century?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Florence already had a long and prosperous history by the 15th century, with fortunes in the wool and banking trades. During the 14th century, however, the Black Death wiped out half of the population and two banks succumbed to bankruptcy, which led to civil unrest and the occasional famine coupled with episodic new outbreaks of the plague.
