Question

Why did the Renaissance begin in Italy?

Answer 1

The Renaissance was also started because during the Dark Ages the people of Europe were clinging to the power of the church to hold them together. During the Renaissance, they broke away from the church and begin searching for another fulfillment to life other than living under the church and papal supremacy First of all, Italy had been the center of the Roman Empire, ruins and art surrounded the Italians and reminded them of their past, another reason its because by the 1300s, Italy's cities had become very wealthy.
