Based on evidence from at least one primary and one secondary source, assume the role of an ordinary individual (i.e. not a famous artist or politician) in Italy during the 15th century and compose a post that introduces yourself, your role, and then answers the following question: What do you believe are the most important factors of the Italian Renaissance and why?
Consider the cultural, economic, political and social changes in your story. For example, if you were a woman in Renaissance Florence, what factors of the Italian Renaissance would be most important to you and why?
Make sure you use evidence from the sources and source types noted in your prompt to support your points. You may use sources other than those found in Recommended Resources, but you should write at least 300 words in your response.
