Key Concepts
Around 1350, a cultural "rebirth" known as the Renaissance began in Italy. While the rest of Europe was still rural, Italian city states like Florence , Venice, and Milan grew incredibly wealthy from trade with the East. Florence, the center of the wool trade and banking, became the birthplace of this new era.
The city was dominated by the powerful Medici Family , who were bankers to the Pope. As the unofficial rulers of Florence, they became generous Patrons of the arts.

This financial support allowed art and intellect to flourish, transforming Florence into the cultural capital of Europe.
