The Renaissance in Italy The Renaissance that began in Italy was characterized by an interest in learning and the arts and a desire to explore the human experience. The city of Florence was known for its wealth, its beauty, and the creative geniuses who worked there. What cities today are known as centers of art and literature? Why do many artists and writers move to cities? The Renaissance was characterized by creativity, interest in learning, and a desire to explore the human experience.

In The Prince, Machiavelli advised rulers that it “is much safer to be feared than loved.” What did he mean by that? Do you think political leaders today would be wise to follow that advice? Lorenzo de Medici gave a helping hand to dozens of famous painters and sculptors. Michelangelo was a boy of 15 when he arrived at the school that Lorenzo had established in Florence for sculptors. One day, the boy scrounged a scrap of marble and carved it into the mask of a mythical figure. Lorenzo passes by as Michelangelo was polishing the mask. He talked to the boy recognized his genius, and invited him to become part of the Medici household. For the next four years, the young Michelangelo lived in he Medici palace while sharpening the skills that would make him one of the premier artists of the Renaissance. Humanists believed that it was love of learning that made men and women truly human. One phrased it this way: “To each species of creature has been allotted a peculiar and instructive gift. Galloping comes naturally to horses, flying to birds. To man only is given the desire to learn….For learning and virtue are peculiar to man.”
