There are several reasons why it began in Italy:

1. Many Italian people were inspired by the ruins of Ancient Rome (eg Colosseum) and wanted to revive the culture of that time while, architects based their ideas from the ruins of old Roman buildings and they used impressive decorated columns, domes and rounded arches.

2. Italy was at the centre of the main trade routes in Europe which brought many Italians into contact with the cultures of the Chinese and the Arabs. Many of the city states of Italy had rulers who were very wealthy and they were willing to sponsor works of art for their own cities. Also the countryside of Italy was filled with ruins and statues which served as models for artists and architects.

3. North Italy was very wealthy and had wealthy patrons (such as the de Medici family) who were willing to sponsor many artists etc.
