Housing Patterns during the Renaissance
Abstract
The European Renaissance, which spanned the 14th through the 17th centuries, was widely recognized as the cultural bridge connecting the Middle Ages and Modern Era. It started as a medieval cultural movement in Italy and eventually spread to the rest of Europe, marking the start of the modern era. In Florence, the Renaissance started in the fourteenth century. Many theories have been proposed to explain its origins and uniqueness, concentrating on a range of factors such as the social and civic customs of Florence during the period, the political structure supported by the Medici family, the migration of Greek scholars to Italy after Constantinople fell, and more. Religious art was highly fashionable during the Renaissance. The majority of architectural projects involving churches, cathedrals, temples, tombs, and Baptisteries were influenced by this. Many other buildings, such as palaces, mansions, libraries, and hospitals, were also built.
