Rennaisance

The word “Renaissance” is borrowed from the French language. It means “re-birth”. 

The Renaissance period is best known for renewed interest in the culture of ancient Greece and ancient Rome, leading to an intellectual and artistic re-birth of classical antiquity.

Italy and the Rennaisance

It was only in the 19th century that the word Renaissance achieved popularity to describe this cultural movement based on Greco-Roman models.

 French scholar Jules Michelet was the first historian to use and define the word Renaissance, in his 1855work, Histoire de France.
