Question

What are some of the characteristics of the "renaissance man" and "renaissance woman"? 4. how did italy's cities help to make it the birthplace of the renaissance? 5. what was the attitude of church leaders and the wealthy toward the arts? why?

Answer 1

Some of the characteristics of renaissance peope would inclue a love for learning and the fine arts. Italy's cities most likely became the birthplace of the renaissance becuase it had many busltling cities that had a lot of trade, so ideas were spread that way. The last question would be that some church leaders and wealthy people were for the arts and helped sponsor it but other church leaders were against it and tried to censor people even burning people at the stake becuase they beleieved the earth was round, which was considered hereticla at the time.
