WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Renaissance ideals first spread from Florence to the neighbouring states of Tuscany such as Siena and Lucca. The Tuscan culture soon became the model for all the states of Northern Italy, and the Tuscan dialect came to predominate throughout the region, especially in literature.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Renaissance really gets going in the early years of 15th century in Florence. In this period, which we call the Early Renaissance, Florence is not a city in the unified country of Italy, as it is now.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Medici family had a huge hand in the explosion of arts and culture that occurred in their city, leading Florence to be widely considered the home of the Renaissance itself.

Detailed explanation-4: -Florence is often named as the birthplace of the Renaissance. The early writers and artists of the period sprung from this city in the northern hills of Italy. As a center for the European wool trade, the political power of the city rested primarily in the hands of the wealthy merchants who dominated the industry.

Detailed explanation-5: -Florence is one of the most significant city-states from the Renaissance in Italy and developed in the northern section of the Italian peninsula. The region is surrounded by hills with the Arno River in the center. As such, the city-state of Florence developed in the valley of the hills and around the river.
