Italy
Humanism as a cultural and intellectual movement emerged during the Renaissance period in the 14th century in Italy. It was characterized by a focus on human potential, achievements, and dignity, as well as a resurgence of interest in classical Greek and Roman literature, philosophy, and art.
Humanism originated during the Renaissance in Italy, with scholars and intellectuals shifting focus from religious doctrine to celebrating and studying human achievements, potential, and experiences. Key figures such as Petrarch and Giovanni Boccaccio promoted the revival of classical works, humanities, and values, which laid the foundation for humanism as a cultural and intellectual movement.
