The Clergy

Explanation:

Renaissance is the name given in the nineteenth century to a broad cultural movement that occurred in Western Europe during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. It was a period of transition between the Middle Ages and the beginnings of the Modern Age. Its main exponents are in the field of arts, although there was also a renewal in the sciences, both natural and human. The city of Florence, in Italy, was the place of birth and development of this movement, which later spread throughout Europe.

In Italy, the epicenter of Renaissance culture, the division of territory into city-states with different political regimes - republics such as Florence or Venice, monarchist states such as Milan and Naples or the papal domain in Rome - led to the rise of an economic elite that He sponsored culture and art as instruments of state propaganda, each rivaling each other in magnificence and splendor. Education became more accessible, ceasing to be limited to the clergy, and intellectual debate was favored, with the foundation of universities and the sponsorship of literature.
