The conditions that makde Italy the logical setting for the start of the Renaissance?

Answer 1

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.
