Best Answer

The Black Death killed so many people that huge plots of land inherited or was given to poor farmers. Because of the success off the new plots of land, farmers had less time to worry about money and more time for education, something they never usually focused on.

Influence from the Crusades and the religion of Islam also influenced the Renaissance.

Increased trade by Italian ports (Milan, Venice, Genoa, Florence) and the generous contributions of the Medici family may also be linked.
