Short Answer Questions
1. As the heartland of the old Roman Empire, Italy still used the Roman legal code. As a result, business and trading between
different regions was easier. Second, the presence of Roman ruins, documents, and artifacts inspired Italian artists and
writers to recreate aspects of Roman life. Third, several geographic factors were important. The milder climate encouraged
better food production, easier travel and trade, and relative prosperity. As well, the proximity of Italy to the Muslim world
meant that Italy was introduced to Arab scholarship (science and medicine).

6. Both the Italian and Northern Renaissance represented a rebirth of knowledge and culture. Both events were influenced by the
Humanist movement, and were bolstered by the financial contributions of wealthy patrons. In art, some specific contributions
of the Italian Renaissance were the development of perspective and the use of fresco painting; in the North, some
contributions were new techniques to represent light and shadow, and the use of oil paints. The North also contributed the
invention of the printing press. The Italian Renaissance was less concerned with religious themes and more concerned with
classical learning; the Northern Renaissance was more concerned with religious themes.
