A Renaissance Begins in Europe



1. Describe how cities brought about change at the dawn of the Renaissance.



2. Not everyone was delighted by the art and ideas of the Renaissance. Some people merely resisted the new ideas; others were outraged by them. Describe one of the great controversies of the era. (Who was outraged and why?)



3. Describe Rome in the early 1400s and explain some of the problems the city was experiencing.

Answer 1

This period witnesses the reemergence of Rome—suffering nearly four decades of neglect during the time of the Great Schism—as a major international power. Construction and renovation is funded largely by the popes, many of whom are elected from the country’s wealthiest and most influential families (such as the Colonna, Farnese, and Medici); their collective aim is to renew the city’s link with the classical past, and shape it into a symbol of papal authority which, throughout the period, extends far beyond religious matters into civic administration and political leadership.
