5. The Time of Discoverers and Reformers
Lesson 1.1  The Renaissance 
What is this lesson about?
The Renaissance period was a cultural movement that started in the Italian city-states. At the end of the Late Middle Ages, scholars and artists became inspired by the knowledge and art of Antiquity and started to study and copy it. 
This rebirth of Antiquity led to a change in how the Italians thought about religion, humans and the world. The Renaissance later spread across Europe.
