Here is my Renaissance summary!

The Renaissance was golden age where Europe thrived with art, poetry, sculpting, inventing, and many other traits. One of the 3 main cities, Florence, has a geographic advantage of a river, so they can trade more, so they became powerful. Another one of the cities, Venice, is surrounded by a lagoon so it’s extremely hard to attack. But the Muslim Turks took control of being the center of trade and things didn’t shift Venice’s way. The final city, Rome, had many popes. One of them was Lorenzo De Medici. He tried to help Rome by living the life of the Renaissance, but he ended up raising taxes too much and things didn’t work out well. Then there was pope Clement III. He wasn’t exactly the best pope. While he was pope, Rome got attacked a lot and he lost authority.

There was also 2 great artists I’m going to write about, Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo. Leonardo Da Vinci has many amazing paintings such as “the Mona Lisa” and “the Last Supper”, both of which are masterpieces. He also carried many other traits. Michelangelo also was a-jacck-of-all-traits. His most famous works of art were “The Statue of David” and “The Roof of The Sistene Chapel”, and again, both were masterpieces.

In conclusion, I think the Renaissance was amazing period of time with many different traits!
