STATES IN

Florence in Italy is the location where
the Italian Renaissance begins. This city is
ruled by effective leaders, Medici family.

and donate money to help support the
development of the arts in their city. The

Famous people
Renaissance architecture.
Medici Family
The Medici Family are wealthy family in
Florence during Renaissance period.
They are avid supporters of the
humanities. They donate money to help
support the development of the arts in
their city.

5. CITY-
STATES IN
ROME
Many of the Renaissance popes who rule
the city of Rome use tax money to hire
artists and sculptors to create art pieces
for filling the new buildings. They also
amass a massive collection of literary
works and they store in an attractive
library. The consequence of the efforts of
the popes , Rome becomes the center of
the Italian Renaissance.
Architecture of Rome
Palazzo Massimo
Palazzo Massimo is in Rome, Italy.
It is created by Baldassare Peruzzi in
1527 to 1536. Its construction
system is cut stone bearing masonry.
The unusual convex facade of the
Palazzo Massimo stands on the
foundations of an old Roman theater
and curves along the old Papal Way.

6. CITY-
STATES IN
VENICE
The location of Venice which is near in
the Mediterranean Sea makes Venice ideal
for trade. Many in Venice grow wealthy,
which allow artists to afford the finer
pleasures of art and the humanities.
Venice quickly becomes world famous for
the high quality of art and literature.
Architecture of Venice
Church: San Giorgio Maggiore
San Giorgio Maggiore is in Venice, Italy.
It is created by Andrea Palladio in 1560
to 1580. Its construction system is
bearing masonry. The church's facade is
scaled to present a public face to the
town of Venice. It dominates and partially
obscures the brick body of the church
behind it, while it reflects the interior
space of the nave and its side chapels.
Transportation of
The gondola is a traditional, flat-bottomed
Venetian rowing boat. For centuries
gondolas are once the chief means of
transportation and most common
watercraft within Venice. The gondola is
never poled as the waters of Venice are too
deep. Gondolas often were fitted with a
"felze," a small open cabin, to protect the
passengers from sun or rain.

7. HOW TO GET
AROUND?
Getting around by land
For most italian during the Renaissance traveling by land is limited
to the local fair or farmer’s market. Getting from point A to point B
by land during the Renaissance is not easy. Roads are little more
than rocky pathways, and could be dangerous, with bandits waiting
to pounce on unsuspecting travelers. The very wealthy travels with
dozens of men-at-arms for protection for this reason.
Common vehicles for traveling on land during the Renaissance
include horses, pack mules, wagons and for the wealthy, coaches.
The most common way to get around on land is on foot. And it was
usually the most efficient.
Getting around by water
Merchants, missionaries, soldiers, students and pilgrims are the
most likely to use sea travel during the Renaissance. As trade and
exploration increase during the Renaissance, overseas travel became
more popular. Though you can travel to distant lands by ship, it is
not without serious dangers.
In many parts of Western Europe, water travel was also popular for
short distances. Rivers, canals and lakes offered much quicker travel
time than by land. However, river travel was not always reliable. In
dry times water levels could drop too low for barges or boats.

RENAISSANCE TABLE MANNERS
Through the 1400s, food was served in a long trencher.
Wealthy households would have some type of metal trencher.
The very poor may have substituted a hollowed out loaf of
bread in place of wooden trencher. Through the mid 1500s,
the trencher slowly disappeared, and individual plates and
forks were introduced to diners.
A few rules of etiquette that were expected of diners
including:
*No dipping meat directly into the salt dish.
*No picking ones teeth with a finger or knife.
*No spitting across the table.
RENAISSANCE WEDDING CUSTOMS
Laws relating to Marriage
Marriage laws began to evolve during the Renaissance. The
Council of Westminster decreed in 1076 that no man should
give his daughter or female relative to anyone without priestly
blessing. Later councils would decree that marriage should
not be secret but held in the open. But it wasn't until the 16th
century Council of Trent that decreed a priest was required to
perform the betrothal ceremony.
Marriage Customs
Grooms, on the average, were 14 years older than their
brides. Noble women sometimes didn't marry until the age of
24, but this was rare. More than 3/4 were married before they
reached 19.

The Bubonic plague is a disease that was most prevalent during the Renaissance
and the extreme number of people die of the bubonic plague.
There is no known treatment for the plague all the people could do was suffer until

carried over on rats that are coming from Asia on ships and being let into Europe
when the ship docked.
You can also get the plague from being in such close contact with the people
infected with the plague. If the infected person cough he or she would blow the
bacteria into the air and you become infected through breathing in.

The great exponent of
Renaissance architecture was
Inigo Jones (1573–1652). His

revolutionary in a country
enamoured with mullion
windows, crenelations and
turrets.
Important buildings
constructed in this period are:
Santa Maria del Fiore and
Palazzo del Te
