∙ 6y ago
The city of Florence located in the central-north of Italy was the heart of the wool industry in Europe leading to excess profit in the hands of rich merchants. These merchants invested their surpluses in banking which yielded more profit. These excesses led to patronage of gifted individuals to develop art, architecture and scientific discoveries, leading to new changes or rebirth of a new era called renaissance.
