The word "Renaissance" come from a word meaning "rebirth in the interest of arts." Before the Renaissance, people thought life was all about suffering and hard work on Earth until you got to heaven. During the Renaissance, people started to explore and invent. They discovered that life wasn't all suffering and started to invent and trade. Guilds were set up and traits were learned. Humanism was created (the study of man and his accomplishments). The Bible was translated from Latin (which the peasents couldn't understand) to the vernacular language (the common language of the pesants-the poor people). Many great artists lived during this time. The time period was around 1400~1600ad. Five famous people: Michelangelo, Leonardo da vinci, Donatello, Raphael, and Galileo. The biggest family known during this time, Medici, gave several leaders; also, they patroned Michelangelo.

Why is the Roman Empire important?
It is important because all that we know, basically, came from the Roman Empire. They are our ancestors (the Romans), and if it wasn't for the Romans, the modern world would be nothing like it is now. Thanks to the barbarians (as well our ancestors, and the thugs who contributed to the empire's fall), we are not as advanced as we could have been. Because of the fall of the Roman empire, there was a Middle Ages, which is when everything, from technology to common sense, completed reversed and people literally started over. The Renassaince was a rebirth of all the ways of the Old World (the Roman Empire), and all the knowledge and technology rediscovered kept building up until this very moment. So, if the Roman empire had not fallen from all the countless reasons, we would today be an exceedingly advanced society much better than we are now. This is stuff no one should be ignorant of, because all we have can be to thanks to the Romans.
