The Renaissance cities and towns of Italy pick out the urban areas that were most closely associated with the architectural and artistic movement between the 14th and 17th centuries.
Within these cities and towns we find famous examples of Renaissance architecture but also a general ethos towards the overall creation and planning of them. The Italian word for Renaissance is Rinascimento, which both mean rebirth; the movement was seen as the time when the senses of mankind were reawakened after the stagnant and dark years of the Middle Ages which were dominated by religious doctrine. |
