Italians were exposed to new ideas as travelers and traders passed through their country.
Italy had big maritime republics such as Genoa and Venice. This meant there was a great influx of different people with different cultures, technology, literature, art and so on. So much contact with other cultures led to the start of the renaissance. Especially when thinkers from Constantinople arrived after the fall of Byzantium.
Maritime empires refers to the type of empires that invested a lot of resources in their Navy. They heavily relied on ports control, goods distribution, and pathway tariffs as their main source of income.
Monopolies of joint-stock companies often pay the maritime empires handsomely for exclusive rights on one specific sea trade route. This will eliminate potential competitors to reach the same foreign market and increase the revenue of joint-stock companies.
