Question

what do you understan by rinaissance

Answer 1

The term ' Renaissance ' literally means rebirth . It was started in Italy around 14th century AD . A very important reason for this was that the revival of trade between Europe and the East had brought the greatest prosperity of Italian cities which virtually controlled this trade . Itlay was divided into a number of small states . By early 16th century there were five main states which controlled most of Itlay . The Italian cities had grown up in an atmosphere of freedom from feudal control . Freedom encouraged thinking and a spirit of adventure . The rulers of the Italian states were patrons of learning and the arts . Moreover , the position of Italian cities such as Venice made them centres of trade and intellectual crossroads . Many great ideas , along with wealth , were brought by merchants from far corners of the globe . The new form of political and social organisation gave political freedom and a suitable atmosphere for academic , artistic and cultural advancement .
