The Renaissance has a long history, but its influence can still be traced back. When we trace back the historical development of western civilization from a historical perspective, an extremely obvious fact immediately emerges: the Renaissance opened the prelude to modern western civilization.

2. A brief history of Italian culture
A brief history of Italian culture: Italian culture has a great influence on the formation and development of western culture. If western culture is divided into three parts: classical culture, medieval culture and modern culture, and the characteristics of these three cultural eras are carefully studied, it is not difficult to see the importance of Italian culture.
The source of western culture is ancient Greek culture, and the so-called western classical culture refers to ancient Greek and Roman culture. There is no doubt that the center of ancient Roman culture is Rome on the Italian peninsula; Although Crete and Peloponnesus are the cradles and centers of ancient Greek culture, "Great Greece" located in southern Italy is also an extremely important part of ancient Greece, which is of great significance to the development of ancient Greek culture.
