What’s different on this map compared to a map of Europe today? As the Renaissance began Italy did not exist! There were 5 major city states - centers of Italian political, economic, & social life. • Italian city-states such as Milan, Venice, Florence, Naples, and Rome played a crucial role in Italian economics and politics. Why Italy? 1. Thriving Cities - NOTES Trade created by the crusades led to growth for Italian cities They are the easiest place to share/spread ideas 2. Wealthy Merchant Class - NOTES Trade=wealth=rich merchants=political power Believed they deserved power because of their individual merit – not who their ancestors were. Most famous – Medici Family of Florence. Bankers Were the bank for the Pope 3.
