It is unlikely that the Italian city-states would have been as successful and influential during the Renaissance without the development of banking. Banking allowed for the accumulation and investment of wealth, which in turn facilitated the patronage of art and the financing of trade. Without the ability to securely store and transfer funds, the powerful families and institutions of the city-states would not have been able to finance the art, architecture, and cultural achievements that made them famous. Additionally, banking facilitated international trade, which allowed for the exchange of ideas, goods, and technologies that contributed to the flourishing of the Renaissance.
The powerful Italian banking family that ruled Florence during the Renaissance was the Medici family. They were prominent patrons of the arts and played a crucial role in the cultural and political life of Florence, supporting artists like Michelangelo and Botticelli. The Medici's influence extended beyond banking; they produced several popes and held significant political power, shaping the course of Italian history during the Renaissance.
