because Italy was the center of the Roman Empire, and the renaissance was a revival of roman culture and art, naturally, it should come from Italy. Also, the black plague wiped out so much of Europe's population that the economy slumped, but northern Italian city-states were increasingly becoming wealthier from trade and manufacturing.

the Renaissance started as art, education, trade, record keeping and invention began to influence life. We usually think of it beginning in Italysince Rome and the Vatican provided a ready focus of support for artisans and thinkers in addition to commercial centers like Venice. International trade through Venice, for example the spice trade, made that city a central point for both Europe and the Middle East.

There are claims that many essential records were maintained by monks in places like Ireland that facilitated the rebirth of civilization during the Renaissance so saying it all started in Italy leaves a lot of the picture blank.
