culture• the Italians learned about the old Roman and
Greek ways, they began to believe, as the ancients had, that life should be rich and as comfortable as possible. They believed that a person should seek talents and skills, and that they should work to increase their standard of living, and the standards of living around them.

• Petrarch, a scholar, was known as the creator of a new approach of knowledge, Renaissance Humanism.
• Roman Catholic Church’s view of spiritual nature as the only real thing, which was then seen as magical and dreamlike. Humanism saw a man as something with good attributes by category. There were three main philosophies that developed during the Italian Renaissance. These include individualism, humanism, and secularism.

times of Medieval Italy.• These events also were times when the rich and
poor mixed rather freely, processions could include every social strata from Pope to beggar.

• For the average person, horses would be very expensive (compare to the price of a Buick/Lexus today), so they would rarely be used for personal transportation. If the average person rode a beast at all, it would most likely be an ox; the next step up would be a donkey.
