Thriving cities of the Italian Renaissance included all of the following except NAPLES.
The Renaissance was a cultural movement that had its development between the 15th and 16th centuries, the result of the dissemination of the ideas of humanism, which determined a new conception of man and the world.
It was a period of transition between the Middle Ages and the beginnings of the Modern Age. Its main exponents are in the field of arts, although there was also a renewal in science, both natural and human.
This movement was born in Florence, Italy, and from there spread throughout Europe.
Italy was then the cradle of the Renaissance. But this movement developed in the north of the country, that is, the most wealthy and developed area. Therefore, Naples, a city located in the south of the country, did not have much interference in the development of the Renaissance.
