  5. Remember how important literature, architecture, art, science, and philosophy were to the ancient Greeks and Romans. • A lot of the works by Greeks and Romans had largely been forgotten in daily life during the Middle Ages. • Meanwhile, they were being preserved by Islamic scholars, by the Byzantine Empire, and by monks in Europe’s monasteries.

  6. The Renaissance was a period in European history, from about 1300 to about 1600 AD, during which Europe experiences a “rebirth” of interest in Greek and Roman art, architecture, education, and science. • This led to a flowering of arts (sculpture, painting, literature, architecture) in Italy, from which the Renaissance spread to other parts of Europe.

  7. In 1350, Italy consisted of many separate city-states. Three of the most important of these were Florence, Milan, and Venice. • All of these city-states grew to importance through trade and commerce. • These Italian city-states were manufacturing centers for products like glass, weapons, and cloth.

  8. This trade led to the development of the first banks and made the economies of Italy’s city-state grow. • It also created a very wealthy merchant class who became princes and “patrons” of the arts, like the Medici family in Florence. Wealthy merchants were able to finance the careers and projects of famous Renaissance figures such as Michelangelo and da Vinci.

  9. Florence was the birthplace of the Renaissance, the intellectual and economic movement that saw a revived interest in the art, social, scientific, and political ideas of ancient Greece and Rome. • This cultural and economic rebirth began in Italy in the 1400s. By the 1600s, it had spread to England, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Spain.

  10. Major contributing factors that led to the renaissance • The decline of feudalism • A renewed or reborn interest in Greek and Roman ideas and words • The revival of trade in Europe • The emergence of a new wealthy merchant class in Italy
