- - - - Importance of merchants
        Merchants in particular, played an important role in the establishment of wide networks for the interchange of not just products but also knowledge, ideas, cultures, and beliefs.
        Trading products produced in different cultures could also help spread different cultural specialities, therefore accelerating cultural diffusion.
        
        The Medici Family
        
        The Medici are well known for their support of the arts. Patronage is when a wealthy individual or family funds an artist. They would pay commissions to painters for great works of art. The Medici sponsorship had a significant influence on the Renaissance, allowing artists to concentrate on their work without worrying about money.
        Well, everyone needs money. If an artist could not sell their work, they would have no money, and they could not live. The support from the Medici family gives them the opportunity to use all of their talent and ability without worries and hesitation, therefore encouraging the rise of renaissance art.
  - - - The prosperity of the Italian city-state was crucial to the Renaissance. Its riches enabled famous families to finance artists, scientists, and philosophers, therefore stimulating new ideas and creative movements. Hence, city-states are important for Renaissance to happen with its financial and manpower/talent supports.

        Leonard Da Vinci’s artwork related to humanism
        (The image on the left/previous text)
        This artwork depicts a perfectly proportioned man in two superimposed postures, standing within a circle and a square. The symmetrical and balanced figure suggests rapid movement due to the superimposition of postures and geometric forms, while the drawing feels nearly three-dimensional, as if the viewer were staring into a volumetric geometric realm.
        
        The image and accompanying text, known as "The Canon of Proportions" and "The Proportions of the Human Body According to Vitruvius," relate to the mathematical proportions of the Roman inventor. Leonardo quotes from Book III of Vitruvius' De architectura in the top margin, stating, "Vetruvio, architect, says in his treatise on architecture that the dimensions of man are in nature divided in this manner."Despite drawing on the architect's proportions in the bottom paragraph, Leonardo corrects them based on his own anatomical research. Leonardo shared the architect's idea that the proportions of the human body were a miniature of the universe's symmetry and order.
      - Impact of humanism in Science and Technology
        
        Traditional science was revolutionized among the formally trained, which is something like matter is made out of fire, water, Earth and air, if not the general people, by Copernicus', Harvey's, Kepler's, Galileo's, and Newton's new cosmology, mechanical, and mathematical concepts. Historians of science are increasingly hesitant to call these developments a revolution since it implies a sudden and total overturn of the previous model. Aristotle's authority decreased gradually, and only the first of the great scientists described above completed his work within the time period under discussion. Yet, the Renaissance contributed several significant contributions to the process of paradigm shift, which 20th-century historian of science Thomas Kuhn referred to as key scientific advances.
        
        Humanist scholarship supplied originals and translations of ancient Greek scientific works, greatly expanding the fund of knowledge in physics, cosmology, medicine, botany, and other sciences, as well as alternative hypotheses to those of Ptolemy and Aristotle. And therefore, the resurrection of old knowledge restored heliocentric astronomy to popularity after almost two thousand years. Renaissance philosophers, most notably Jacopo Zabarella, examined and articulated the laws of the deductive and inductive processes used by scientists, while old philosophies improved how scientists understood events. Pythagoreanism, for example, provided an image of a harmonious geometric world that aided Copernicus in shaping his thinking.
  - - - Consequently, the Renaissance's bright men aspired to enhance talents in all areas of knowledge, physical growth, social accomplishments, and the arts. He, like Da Vinci, excels in the fields of art, science, music, innovation, and literature.

  - - - Affection of Greco-Roman Culture in the Renaissance period.
        In every sphere of life, the Ancient Greek and Roman societies affected the Renaissance era. The belief in humanism was a central theme in the Renaissance era, which was drawn from Ancient Greek and Roman civilization. Humanism is the concept that humans and their lives are more important than religious or supernatural phenomena. Orginated in books and left words in the ancient Greek and Roman times, ideas of humanism had been found by people in the Renaissance era.
        
        This way of life was then 'passed down' to the people of Italy throughout the Renaissance period. The Greek and Latin classics, according to Renaissance humanists, included both all of the teachings required to live a good and efficient life as well as the greatest models for a forceful Latin style. They created a new type of classical study in which they rectified and attempted to comprehend the works of the Greeks and Romans, which appeared so important to them. Renaissance humanists emerged near the conclusion of the Middle Ages, when the church began to lose influence. People began to "wake up" from their slumber and recognized that the church could not provide all of the answers.
        
        They also saw that individuals, like as Muslims, were performing well in their studies of Greek and Roman advances. As a result, people began to seek new information, breaking away from the church. Humans (particularly painters) acquired humanist beliefs throughout the Renaissance. They began to see humans as attractive, rather than ugly or immoral, as the church said. Throughout the Medieval Ages, the church ordered everyone to be covered with art. Nudity, on the other hand, was acceptable in the Renaissance to show off the body. As Rome collapsed, Christianity remain Europe's most dominant force, even influencing the arts. The Christians did not wish to appear Roman. These included no sculptures, realism, humanism, gods/goddesses, or nudity. Throughout the Middle Ages, the focus of art was on Christianity, Biblical stories, and churches—mostly employed to tell a narrative or teach a lesson. Yet, the humanists of the Renaissance began researching and painting non-religious subjects. Some even integrated Greek and Roman gods and goddesses in their paintings. Artists also showed a renewed interest in portraying people as they truly seemed. Michelangelo, a famous Renaissance painter, mixed classical sculptural realism with biblical subjects. Artists now had the purpose of celebrating the current life as it was and not worrying about the hereafter. During the Renaissance, Grecian and Roman architecture were resurrected. Under the influence of humanism, Gothic architecture's pointed arches, ornate facades, and towering heights gave way to Renaissance architecture. With the influence of humanism, Gothic architecture's pointed arches, complex walls, and towering heights gave way to more classical façade and rounded arches of Renaissance monuments. Humanism was also used by writers, scientists, and even kings to figure out how to be the greatest people possible.

- - - - While trades bring in and out different goods in both countries, cultural items and stories have been spread around. Trades are one of the most important factors causing cultural diffusion between all those countries, and it is one of the most important events and products brought by the crusades.
  - - - Several people believed that God's vengeance was falling on them, so they battled the disease with prayer. Some thought they should follow the adage, "Eat, drink, and be happy, for tomorrow you may die." The civilization witnessed disruption on a scale normally seen only in controlled situations such as carnival. Faith in religion declined following the epidemic, owing to the deaths of so many pastors as well as the failure of prayer to prevent sickness and death.
