During the Renaissance, Italy was not a unified country but a collection of city-states, each controlled by powerful families or rulers. Prominent states included the Papal States, ruled by the Pope, the Republic of Florence, governed by the Medici family, and the Kingdom of Naples, often under Spanish influence. Venice was a significant maritime power, while Milan was controlled by the Sforza family. This fragmented political landscape led to a complex interplay of alliances, conflicts, and cultural exchange.
