The document summarizes key aspects of the Italian Renaissance: - The Renaissance began in Italy due to its position at the center of the Roman Empire, links created through the Crusades to the Middle East, and competition among powerful city-states like Florence and Venice. - City-states like Florence and Venice grew wealthy through trade networks spanning the Mediterranean and beyond, importing and exporting goods like silks. - Wealthy merchant families like the Medicis in Florence grew powerful and intermarried with the traditional noble class, creating a new type of "urban noble" class in the city-states.
