 READING THE
PASSAGE “WHAT IS
RENAISSANCE”?
 What is the Renaissance?
The Renaissance is a period from the 14th to the
17th century, considered the bridge between the
Middle Ages and Modern history. It started as a
cultural movement in Italy in the Late Medieval
period and later spread to the rest of Europe.
"Renaissance" is a French word meaning
"rebirth". The period is called by this name
because at that time, people started taking an
interest in the learning of ancient times, in
particular the learning of Ancient Greece and
Rome. The Renaissance was seen as a "rebirth"
of that learning. The Renaissance is often said
to be the start of the "modern age".
The Renaissance really began in the city of
Florence. In those days, Italy was not one
single country. It was made of many little
states, all governed in different ways. These
states were constantly making alliances and
fighting with each other.
FLORENCE ITALY
Rome was politically powerful, because Rome
had the Pope, the person in control of the Roman
Catholic Church. Because of his very great
importance as a spiritual leader, most people and
most cities did not want to argue with any pope.
After a pope died, a new pope was elected.
Everyone who was rich and powerful hoped a
member of their family would be chosen
ROME, ITALY
It was always a good idea to have several
young men in the family trained as priests,
just in case. It also helped to be good friends
with other rich families. One way to do this
was to have lots of daughters and get them to
marry rich powerful men from different
cities. This was the way that politics worked.
During the 14th century, the philosophy of
humanism began to emerge in Italy. Humanism
emphasizes that man is the center of the
universe and that all human achievements in
art, literature, and science should be regarded.
Instead of relying on the will of God, people
began to act according to capabilities.
In 1450, Johannes Gutenberg’s invention of movable
printing press revolutionized communication and
publication in Europe. As a result, publications of
humanist thinkers like Francesco Petrarch and Giovanni
Boccaccio were printed and distributed to elite and
common people. In addition, the growth in trade and
commerce between the East and West set the stage for
the Renaissance

During the Renaissance, there were many famous
artists, many writers and many philosophers.
Many people studied mathematics and different
sciences. A person who is clever at a great number
of things is sometimes called a "Renaissance
man". Leonardo da Vinci, who was a painter, a
scientist, a musician and a philosopher, is the
most famous Renaissance Man.
