It was a wonderful and culturally rich place to live in the Italian Renaissance. After the middle ages (the “dark” or “middle” ages) Italy flourished as a country. With the fall of Constantinople and the remnants of the old Roman Empire still gliding with the wind, Italy had a unique development. just around the corner It was a wonderful period of “regeneration” before all of Europe and two hundred years later it would remain one of the most important periods in history.
Italy between the 14th and the 16th century would be the best place to live and breathe, especially if you want to share the same air with the painter Machiavelli, not even Raphael Leonardo Da Vinci and Michael , or even Raphael’s works, we could see them mentioned. Yes, these were important and renewing times. Anyone will be happy to live there, even the Catholic Church has made Rome his home. (Gates)
Machiavelli was famous for his great words of thought and study of philosophy. On the 3rd 1469, one of the greatest thinkers for the renaissance of the world was born. His ideas paved the way for new ideas and concepts that brought many questions. He constructed his philosophy in the realm of power, fortune, and power. He believed that the republic was above all things, that the government of the Roman people was necessary, and that it justified the noblest ends. He might have seemed cruel to some, but it turned out that Machiavelli was really a good man with great virtues.
Leonardo Da Vinci was a famous painter of the Renaissance. His work transcends art though. He had many discoveries. Some would call him a genius. He had piles of documents in his office of inventions, including models of old airplanes, armored cars, and machine gunsmachines.
What is better than Italy, besides food, festivals and celebrations. One of the most famous celebrations was the Venice Carnival, Italian for Carnevale di Venezia. It is dated to the fifteenth century, but may be traced back to the fourteenth. What makes Carnevale so unique to everyone in Italy is that all the participants usually wear elaborate costumes. Typical figures had pointed noses and gold-painted metallic features. But some cover only the top of the face. Another type of mask is the Volto, or “face”. This persona is the easiest person to make and usually has a more complete approach to the festival, allowing the mask-wearers to eat and drink freely without harming their hidden identity.
He says that Carnelian originated in Venice as a celebration of the great victory of the Repubblica della Serenissima. Of course, the main reason to celebrate Venice is for sports and business. The Venetian Republic was very powerful at that time and what happened in Venice had an influence on the whole of Europe. The nobles, the poor, the cardinals… All enjoyed music, food and wine. Part-time business flourished as well as artists and ghosts looking for the best profits.
Who forgets where Italian food comes from? Italy is more known for its food, not many people distinguish between the food of southern and northern Italy. Italian cuisine has gradually developed over the centuries. The region is also believed to be the oldest complete cookbook known to man. Northern Italian cuisine is remarkably different from the rest of the peninsula. The best known dishes are composed of rice. the most famous of which is risotto. Much of northern cuisine has to do with climate. In the north only coolers of it are required as richer stews and soups. In southern Italy, almost everything is planted with tomatoes, while in the north it is not used very often, because they are not readily available. Southern Italy food is also rich pig because the land is not fertile enough for livestock. Also, the olive oil in southern cooking was based on olive oil rather than creamy sauces that suffocate the sauce.
Besides food and festivals, Renaissance Italy has a lot to offer. When it comes to Education, we see a lot of children in school at this time. Out of one hundred thousand people who lived in Florence at this time, eight thousand boys attended school. At this age, that was phenomenal.
Imprudent crime was not a bad thing in Italy in the 15th and 16th centuries. In fact, they had a large police force that was militarized in the traditional way. This police force went through both day and night and also carried large papers on high-ranking socialites and officials. The leader, the leader, observed his dealings with the criminal world through indexes. There was also an emergency protocol to deal with violent mobs and situations. (criminal)
The church also helps the poor in emergencies. He divides them into two groups, the poor saints, who thought that their children, mothers, and mothers could work, and then the wicked, who were adapted to the term amedieval described a well-educated man who was driven out of his home and led a life in rags. (criminal)
Great minds, education, police, faith in your fingers… Italy was not bad. That is why people had to live there if they could. Clean water, the best food on the planet, and a strong desire for science and art. What more do you ask for?
