Living Under the Shadows of Belief

The Italian Renaissance began in a period of great achievements and also of cultural

changes that were extended in the 20th Century, constituting the transition in modern and

classical Europe. The Renaissance began in the region of Tuscany then had an important impact

in Rome that was populated with some buildings in the style and ancients form that after being

populated was strongly rebuilt by the popes. While foreign invaders want to make over the chaos

but nevertheless the ideas and ideals of the Renaissance spread throughout Europe.

At the same time historians see a time of many economic changes and little scientific

advance that had the main development in the Culture. At the end of the middle ages in central

and southern Italy, which was the earth of Rome but was poorer than the north, the campagna

was littered with the crumbling ruins of its aqueducts the pavement of the those splendid Roman

roads were narrowed by the returning wilderness.

In the darkest decades there was a force at work that was inimical to this world of warriors,

priests, and peasants. It was a European cultural movement that produced a splendor that has not

been seen from that Century to the golden age, there was a Century that prompted a radical

change in the Catholic Church, the papas opposed the dominion of the entire Christianity

Community and I seek that all people take up the roots of the first Christianity.

The Renaissance can help many things as well as other international places could have many

conflicts as well as Italy that were many Century flighting for their Cultures to be recognized.

The population can’t be and it’s not only Italy that’s in all parts of the world like the United

States, which is freer country but with very important rules for the community, Europe of the

middle ages was not a closed world, and had only been the experience of merchants and

pilgrims.

The achievement, however was far greater for the next four Centuries the themes, tradition,

the Techniques and the preoccupations of the artist of fifteenth Century Italy where to dominated

Western Europe. The timely invention of the printing press not only multiplied the works of

antiquity so that they were readily available to hundreds of thousands of men and women, but

also helped to create a public for their study. The Renaissance society was designed for rich men,

rich cities, rich popes.
