The Renaissance<\/strong> (Rinascimento<\/em> in Italian) is a period of great cultural change in Europe that began in Italy at the end of the 14th century, and in the same country developed until the beginning of the 16th century. It constitutes the transition between medieval and modern Europe.
\nIt is in literature that this movement took its source, with in particular intellectual patronage and an interest in the rediscovery of classical culture and antiquity. It concerned primarily the upper social classes.
\nIt was in Tuscany that the Renaissance emerged, around Florence<\/strong> and Siena<\/strong>, quickly impacting Rome where it was maintained by the Papacy.<\/p>\n

It was only at the end of the 15th century that the movement spread to the whole of Italian society and culture. This was the time of its heyday, although the country was plagued by chaos, under foreign incursions and internal struggles, between factions and between cities, especially between supporters of the Pope and those of the Holy Roman Empire.
\nBeyond Italy, the ideas of the Renaissance spread throughout the rest of Europe, with the development of the Spanish, French, English or Nordic Renaissance. These movements each had their own temporalities and rhythms, with in each region their own characteristics and styles, with the impulse and influence of stays of great masters and great artists.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
