What did people do for fun during the Harlem Renaissance?
they jousted, held tournaments
No they didn't. That was during the Middle Ages and the European Renaissance.
People in the Harlem Renaissance did a lot of partying. They might have gone out to one of the many clubs in Harlem (ex: The Cotton Club, Club Savoy), but these clubs were often filled with white tourists looking for the 'Harlem experience'. It was more likely that they attended 'rent parties' (parties hosted by apartment owners to help pay the rent). Food and cheap liquor were sold to the guests, and the entertainment was usually spontaneous.

The most important city-states were Venice, Naples, Milan, Florence and Pisa. I cannot tell you what is the most important of them all, or the importance of any, because thats how I stumbled on this myself. But Im pretty sure my answer is better than EUROPE.
One thing that is important about Milan, is they manufactured metal goods.

How does the Harlem Renaissance still affect our society today?
There is still some debating going on to present day because the Harlem Renaissance was a complex issue. From a rather weak point of view was that little significant artistic criticism was written during the Renaissance. Many critics and historians today felt that having art created by African Americans taken seriously seemed like such a momentous step forward just enough to suffice. Some critics argue that much of the work produced during the Renaissance was of no value and that the period inevitably has been idealized, but others stress that technical mastery and ideological content did indeed bring this to the forefront. Another theory is that the Harlem Renaissance was an intellectual movement that barely touched the masses. The idea that despite a history that had divided the art and culture world reform the brotherhood. It is incorrect to assume that these black intellectuals, because of it, were not related to the black common man in Harlem. Many think that Blacks were apt to agree that [the artistic output] was a good thing and such an achievement, because it was elite in character and was also a source of race pride and an argument against continued discrimination. Other authorities point to progress in relations between African and white Americans and during the Harlem Renaissance it was acceptable for the first time for Americans of both races as equals to make and exploit social contact. The "movement" defined some priorities for the achievement of racial equality that have been played out in the modern Civil Rights Movement. Historical evidence certainly does not show weakened progress in African/American (or political or economic) development since the period of the Harlem Renaissance and history does support the view that the Renaissance was a liberating step in the search by African Americans for artistic and cultural identity on their own terms. It is important that the Harlem Renaissance continue to be studied for history.

The conditions that makde Italy the logical setting for the start of the Renaissance?
The conditions that made Italy the logical setting for the start of the Renaissance was that it was the heartland of the old Roman Empire. Most of Italy still used the Roman Law. Italy's clear legal code made business and trade between different regions much easier. In Italy were many Roman ruins, paintings, sculptures, mosaics, and wall paintings that still remained. Some ancient works of art were brought to Italy with the fall of Constantinople. These ruins and works of art inspired many Italian artists and architects, partly because it was their ancestors who had created many of them. The climate of Italy was milder than that of the countries north of the Alps. The climate did not disrupt trade and that meant that they could trade all the time. The climate also meant that food was plentiful all year long. With that, people were able to devote more time to science and the arts in a place like Italy because they could spend less time earning a living.
