The renaissance
Renaissance means "rebirth" It began in florence, italy, and the medici family practically started it. The medici family, specifically Lorenzo, helped start the renaissance.
During the era, it made them think about what they would study, and they travled back in history, and studied acient times. Those people were called Humanist. A humanst is a person who returned to the classics.
The artists-
The itailian artists, firstly relied on perspective, which made it realistic.
Micheangelo, is considered one of the greatest painter and sculptor. He is known for painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. He painted images from the Bible. One of his most famous scultpor is the peita, an image of teh Virign Mary, holding Jesus Chirst, after he was crucified. It is the only worked that he only signed. He signed it because he didn't think it was his best work, and he didn't want otehrs to get in trouble becasue of it.
Leonardo Da Vinci
Known as a renaissance man, he was a ggreat painter, scultpor, scientists, ect... One of his greatest paintings is the Mona Lisa. It is intriguing becasue we have no idea who the Mona lisa is. She is missing her eyebrows. His other famous painting is the last supper.
Rapheal- famous for his frsecos and his madonas.
Titian- famous for The Assumption of the Virgin.
Writers
Petriarch- known for his love peoms to Lora, an imaginary woman.
Niccolo Machiavelli- Florentine Writer- wrote The Prince- he poses more questions than answers.
His question was, Is it better to be loved than feared, or feared than loved.
As a leader- Is it better to be loved than feared, or feared than loved.
1. As for the first part, I would rather be loved than feared because when you are loved, you will have a closer relationship with them. And when you have a closer relationship, you will always have someon that you feel close to, and that can never change.
2. However, as a leader, I would rather be feared becasue then you will know that your followers would be loyal to you, even if it is only because they are scared of you. It also helps you control your followers to do what you want, whether it be a command, or a law.

Renaissance Person 1st Account
When I was born, I was born into a Florentine family, with noble ancestery. When I was just seven years old, my mother, Bella degli Abati, died. My father, Alighiero II, supported us by moneylending and renting of property. But soon, Brunetto Latini, had taken me in and raised me as his son. Throughout my life, I was properly educated in Classical and Christian literature, and at 12 years old, I was promised Gemma Donati as my wife, but I fell in love with Beatrice. However, I married Gemma. After Beatrice died, I began to devote myself to literature, and that is how I have created some of my best work. My most famous accomplishment, would have to be in my writing skills. Throughout my life, I have composed several pieces of literature that have become classics in the world of classic literature. One of these stories is entitled La Divina Commedia (Devine Comedy). The Devine Conedy is an epic novel about Dante, and his journey through the three stages of death, Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. I plan for this peice of literature to be widely liked by everyone after I pass.
As I write this, you may be wondering why I am saying that I'm going to "go" soon. It is because Uguccione della Faggiuola, forced Florence to grant mercy on those who were exliled, like me. And when Uguccione della Faggiuola defeated Florence, those exiled were granted house arrest, as long as they vowed to never go to Florence again. I refused, and was sentenced to death, which is tommorow, but I was asked by Prince Guido Polenta to come to Venice. However, I managed to catch malaria, and the doctors say, I have a few days left. So, when I heard this news, I began to write this, for you to always remember the name Dante Alighieri.
