 * guild How did the city-state Florence reflect the Renaissane world veiw?**

Bold Words 1) guilds: an organization of craftmen or merchants 2) patron of the arts: a person who gives support to the arts. (mainly finachily)

p.34 A city built on the Arno River known as Florence or Firenenza(are italian words) is a trade route for centuries - Merchants and traders teamed up in florence since Roman Empire - wealthy bankers got pope in rome and the bankers gave in return was financial business of papacy - florentines had received many knowledge from meeting people with different culture - the city state was so rich that they bought cities around them they city state was going to be a republic but had troubles overpowing other groups. - 1435 a powerful family(Medici) took over the city leading to florence to be the city in the middle of the renassiance in Italy

p. 35 - Florence was built on class system - high class- popolo grasso (fat people) - organized themselves in guilds - middle class, and low - popolo minuto - little people - they weren't allowed to be important - the medici family rose to power - they supported the artists and promoted the wealthy.

p.36 Medici Family - A family in Florence influence many form 1400s to 1700s such as controlling the government the family was so ruch they were able to pay for - churches,building,and monuments - able to pay famous renaissance in painting,sculptors,and architects- study works of ancient greek and roman authors - hold social events to discuss ideas and art.

The people of florence would have different world views. The high class would think the world was theirs. The low class would have more of a passive perspective since they weren't important. They Medici family would support the artists so the artists would think their important in this world. They people involved in trade would have a sense of multiculturalism, because they are meeting all these people.

How this effects the renaissance is because a family called Medici was so rich they could do almost anything. Such as make building's, were able to employ artist, and hold social events. How this is related to this is related to the renaissance is because they were involved with trading that led to multiculturalism. We think that this is related to the renaissance is because they could help pay for thing's. Such as when the the renaissance wanted to help build churches,the the family could help pay for the supplies and builders.
