Answer and Explanation:
The Italian Renaissance (Italian: rinaʃʃiˈmento) was a period in Italian history that covered the fifteenth and twentieth centuries (Quattrocento) and 16 (Synciento), spread throughout Europe, and represented the transition from the Middle Ages to modernity. Supporters of "The Long Revival" argue that it started in the fourteenth century (Trecento) and lasted until the seventeenth century (Cinquecento). The Italian Renaissance is known for its accomplishments in the fields of painting, architecture, sculpture, literature, music, philosophy, science, technology, and exploration. Italy became leader in all these regions by the late fifteenth century, during the Lodi Peace Agreement (1454-1494), agreed upon among the Italian states. The Italian Renaissance peaked in the middle of the sixteenth century when internal conflicts and foreign conquests in the region plunged into the turmoil of the Italian Wars (1494-1559).
During the eleventh century in northern Italy, a new political and social structure emerged: the city or municipality state. The civic culture that arose from this urbs was fantastic. In some places communes appeared (such as Britain and France), they were absorbed by the monarchy upon its appearance. They survived in northern , as well as in a handful of other regions throughout Europe, to become active and independent city-states.
