Years: 1396 - 1539
The Renaissance, a period of vigorous revival of the arts and culture, originates in Italy thanks to a number of factors, as the great wealth accumulated by merchant cities, the patronage of its dominant families, and the migration of Greek scholars and texts to Italy following the Conquest of Constantinople at the hands of the Ottoman Turks.
The Italian Renaissance peaks in the mid-sixteenth century as foreign invasions plunge the region into the turmoil of the Italian Wars.
