day 1: one period/era
The Renaissance is a period that spanned between the 14th and the 16th century in Europe, born in Italy before spreading to other countries. It is based on Humanism, which is derived from the rediscovery of classical Greek philosophy, before moving onto having a global impact. Its major influence is particularly visible in Arts (paintings, sculptures, architecture, etc.) but also encompasses politics, science and literature. Humanism and the Renaissance played a direct role on many contemporaneous religious and politic debates, including the Reformation.
