Answer:
The Italian Renaissance (Italian: Rinascimento [rinaʃʃiˈmento]), a period in Italian history that covered the 15th (Quattrocento) and 16th (Cinquecento) centuries, developed a culture that spread across Europe and marked the transition from the Middle Ages to modernity. (Proponents of a "long Renaissance" argue that it began in the 14th century (Trecento) and lasted until the 17th century (Seicento)[citation needed].) The French word renaissance (rinascimento in Italian) means "rebirth" and defines the period as one of cultural revival and renewed interest in classical antiquity after the centuries which Renaissance humanists labeled the "Dark Ages". The Renaissance author Giorgio Vasari used the term "Rebirth" in his Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects in 1550, but the concept became widespread only in the 19th century, after the work of scholars such as Jules Michelet and Jacob Burckhardt.
