Italy was more urbanized, commercial and economically advanced that the rest of Europe. It had larger classes of bankers, merchants and manufacturing workshop employees The aristocracy was mainly an urban class, rather than a rural one as elsewhere in Europe.

How did the techniques differ from the Italian Renaissance?

Florence in Italy was the birthplace of the Renaissance and from there is spread through France to Northern Europe. With the Renaissance movement came humanism which had a huge impact on religion in Northern Europe. It lead to the arrival of the Reformation and the turmoil that came with it. Catholicism in Italy however remained untouchable. Protestantism never really happened in Italy. With regard to art. In Italy artists still did religious themed paintings but also started depicting the VIPees of the era and putting them in backgrounds from Ancient Greece and Rome. This never really caught on in Northern Europe (at least not in the extent as in Italy). In Northern Europe they continued depicting religious figures for a much longer period of time. Later on they abandoned this and focused on depicting scenes from daily life, painting ordinary people and ordinary scenes (Breughel and Van Eyk). The Italian Renaissance Men and Women did not do this.

How is Spain unique?

Europe is a continent, not one country, then each country in Europe is different from the other. Spain is not more, not less different. Why do you expect Spain to be especially different from the others?? Spain is actually pretty similar to its neigbours in culture, politics, way of life and economic conditions: (Portugal, France or Italy) If you compare Spain with more distant northern European nations of germanic culture (UK, Scandinavia, Germany, Autria,Netherlands) or to eastern European nations, then Spain will be much more different... But Britain itself is very different to, say, Russia. It seems that many people in the US or outside Europe seems to think that all Europeans are like north American in term of look, culture or ways of life... And seem to think latin Europe to be "less European"... This is completely not true, and historically it is the reverse: European civilization was born in southern Europe, and spread to the germanic nations of northern Europe or slavic nations or eastern Europe much later. The US mainstream culture is mainly of Germanic/northern European cultural roots, this is maybe why some people think that countries of latin culture such as Spain, Portugal, Italy or France are somehow different to US mainstream, when the cultures of northern Europe doesn't seems so different. You should not forget that Europe is diverse and here, the latin nations are as much part of European/western civilization than the germanic/Anglo cultures do (if not more). It is sad that so many people in the US look down on latin nations of the latin-America, thinking that they are not part of western civlisation when they often are as much part of it (if not more) than the US

Is life easier in northern Europe or Africa?

Both are large area, particularly Africa. There are parts of Africa where life is easy and parts where it is difficult. It also depends on individuals. Someone could be very wealthy and live in comfort, wherever they are, and others could be in poverty and bad health wherever they are. Parts of Africa are more difficult to live in due to heat and the environment and under development, so those parts of Africa would be more difficult that parts of northern Europe. Then there are parts of northern Europe that are near the Arctic Circle where it is difficult because of the cold and the environment. Generally people would say life is easier in northern Europe, but the reality is that there are too many factors to include to give a definitive answer.
