The term "Renaissance" refers to that period between the 15th and 16th centuries, marked by a revival of studies, literature and the arts. The chronological extremes of this period are still under discussion by academics. The cradle of the Renaissance was Florence, thanks to the role of Tuscan intellectuals of the previous generation such as Giovanni Boccaccio and Francesco Petrarch, and to the patronage of the Medici family and others, which fostered the development of literary studies and art. From the Tuscan capital, Renaissance culture spread to other Italian cities, again, thanks to wealthy patrons but also because of the travels of intellectuals and artists. With the same dynamics, the Renaissance spread in the rest of Europe.

“ITALIAN RENAISSANCE“ can be easily framed.

The 15th century marked the final transition from the medieval age to the modern age. Italy was divided into a series of states, the strongest of which sought to extend their hegemony. The Peace of Lodi in 1454 ended a series of wars. A long period of peace throughout the peninsula began and it was interrupted by the arrival on the scene of the French king Charles VIII. This is an imaginary map of that time. At the top on the left there is the seigniory of Milan: first the Visconti, then the Sforza. On the right it is placed the Serenissima, the oldest State. Below, we can find the Gonzaga, dukes of Mantova and, on the right, the Estensi, dukes of Ferrara. The Malatesta, lords of Rimini, the Medici, and the Montefeltro come next. The papacy and the Kingdom of Naples close the map. These Signoria supported the great artists of the time and that unique cultural movement born in Italy, that the whole world envies us.
