Welcome to Renaissance Italy

This travel guide is for people who want to get new ideas and develop their art and cutlers in Renaissance.

The Renaissance is a French word for “rebirth” .The Renaissance was a period of new inventions, beliefs and ideas that started in 14th century. The Renaissance was started by many rich Italian cities, such as Florence, Venice and Ferrara etc. Because these cities were very wealthy, many merchants started to spend their many on different things, such as painting, learning and new banking techniques.

Which cities to visit?

Florence

Florence is one of the big and developed city in the Italy. Nowadays there was a huge development in the arts, architecture, science, literature, government, and many other knowledges. The city of Florence, that's located in Central Italy, it was the main center of the Italian Renaissance. In this city, many famous Italian artists and architects created great works of art.

Venice Just as with Florence, Venice was a Republic during the Renaissance. Venice was built entirely on piles sunk into marshy islands at the head of the Adriatic Sea. Venice like Florence, had many artists who were patronized by wealthy merchants. Venice is one of the foremost cities of the Italian Renaissance.

Rome

During the day, the city of Rome was abandoned. The absence of the Pope caused a severe economic crisis that forced the population to abandon the city and Rome became a mass of ruins where herds of sheep and cattle grazed. But, after the year 1418, the year when Pope Martin V re-established the Papal see in Rome, the city began to be born again. But now it was again a great capital.

How to get around?1. By WaterWater transportation was by far the cheapest form of transport, so this was used for most trade between countries. The travellers by water are usually merchants soldiers.

2. By LandLand transportation was for the rich people, such as noblemen or merchants would ride in carriages, on horse, or carried on a litter. For the average person, horses would be very expensive, so they would rarely be used for personal transportation. If the average person rode a beast at all, it would most likely be an ox; the next step up would be a donkey. Or more often, people would just walk between towns.

* No spitting across the table.* No dipping meat directly into the salt dish.* No picking ones teeth with a finger or knife.* You would be introduced fork and plate in Italy.

Table manners

Local customs and manners

! Through the 1400s, food was served in a long trencher. Wealthy households would have some type of metal trencher, perhaps silver or pewter. Middle class homes would have a metal or wooden trencher. The very poor may have substituted a hollowed out loaf of bread in place of wooden trencher. People would eat from these trenchers, scooping out food with their fingers, and using bits of bread to sop up juices and broth.

-Social class

There are five social classes in Italy.

•Nobility, Merchants

•Rich People

•“Normal”People (Middle Class)

•Poor People

•Slaves

Dresses gradually lost their long trains, and flowing skirts became increasingly popular. The robe, which was actually a dress with an attached bodice and skirt, appeared on the fashion scene. Women also began showing their hair again. Instead of covering their heads, they adorned their coiffures with shimmering veils and dazzling jewels. In men's fashions, doublets shortened and low-necked tunics and chemises became common garb. Hose became a common necessity for the well-dressed gentleman. Brocades and velvets were among the favored fabrics for both men and women's clothing.
