9. Italian RenaissanceThe Italian Renaissance was the earliest
manifestation of the general European Renaissance, a
period of great cultural change and achievement that
began in Italy during the 14th century and lasted until
the 16th century, marking the transition
between Medieval and Early Modern Europe.
The word renaissance (Rinascimento in Italian) means "rebirth" in French, and
the era is best known for the renewed interest in the culture of classical
antiquity after the period that Renaissance humanists labeled the Dark
Ages. These changes, while significant, were concentrated in the elite, and
for the vast majority of the population life was little changed from the
Middle Ages.
