Questions to consider
1. Compare and contrast the Italian Renaissance with the northern Renaissance.
2. What is meant by Renaissance Humanism? In what ways was the Renaissance a break with the
Middle Ages? What lines of continuity did it maintain with medieval civilization?
3. Who were the leading, or most characteristic, literary and artistic figures of the Italian
Renaissance? What was “the spirit of the Renaissance” that they all shared?
4. Why did the French invade Italy in 1494? How did this event trigger Italy’s political decline? In
what ways do the actions of Pope Julius II and the ideas of Machiavelli signify the start of a new
era in Italian civilization?
