Many artists, architects, scientists, and writers flocked to the northern cities such as Florence, Venice, and Genoa in search of intellectual stimulation. The traders and bankers were also enthralled towards Northern Italy with the hope of making a fortune like the influential and affluent Italian families. Italy was successful in luring people with its’ rich heritage and trade opportunities. These visitors spread out word on the ongoing exciting cultural and social movements in Italy, and soon the ideas of secularism, individualism, rationality and reason were broadcasted to other parts of Europe like France, Germany, Britain, and Netherlands as if seismic waves spreading out of the epicenter that was Italy.

She had five sisters (Elena, Lucia, Minerva, Europa, and Anna Maria) and a brother (Asdrubale), to whom she was a living role model.
At the height of the Italian Renaissance, when the gentry educated women only in courtesy, refined living, religion, and needlework, Anguissola had his girls trained in piano and painting. With Sofonisba as mentor, four of her sisters—Lucia, Europa, Elena, and Anna Maria—honed their talents well enough to interest the art community in Mantua, Urbino, Ferrara, Parma, and Rome.[ ]
In 1546, seventeen-year old Sofonisba, along with her younger sister, Elena, was sent to boarding school in the household of Bernardino Campi. Campi was a respected religious painter, frescoist, and a Cremonese portraitist who tutored the Anguissola girls in artistry for three years. Amilcare was a true humanist who firmly believed in the writings of Baldesar Castiglione, who, in his book, Book of the Courtier, published in 1528, mapped out the ideal level of education that a lady in court should be provided
Italy’s strategic location between Eastern and Western Europe allowed it to establish a lucrative Eurasian trade. This allowed the ideals of the Renaissance to gradually spread to Rome and the rest of Europe. The Eurasian trade enabled families to acquire great wealth and this great wealth gave families the ability to become patrons of government, education, and the arts. Becoming a patron of government, education, and the
The basis for this experiment was inspired by the evolution canyon in Israel that contained various species of Sordaria Fimicola (S. Fimicola) and more importantly had a tight ecological barrier. The canyon has two slopes that experience vastly different environmental conditions and thus expose organisms who inhabit them with bipolar pressures. Organisms living on the South Facing Slope (SFS) experience higher and more intense amounts of solar radiation, temperature, and drought. While Sordaria who inhabit the North Facing Slope (NFS) receive more cool and humid conditions. Sampled Sordaria from the two slope showed variances in cross-over frequency that occurs during Prophase I of Meiosis. This promising fact lead to the investigation of UV radiation of different types of Sordaria discussed later and promotes the idea that harsh environmental condition, like those experienced on the SFS, can cause variances in cross-over frequency.

During the early stages of Europe, the Renaissance became an age of change and intellectual advancements for all civilization. Many of history’s brilliant thinkers can attribute their thoughts and beliefs to this time period. Even though the Renaissance is often grouped as a whole, there were two different locations of such change, one considered “Italian” and the “ Northern”. The Italian and Northern Renaissance contrast in the way that the Northern Renaissance focuses on religious aspects of life and the Italian Renaissance is more secular in its focus of art and literature rebirth. Yet both remain similar in that they both developed similar views on ideas such as revamping social norms or the new idea of humanism.
It all began in and around the year 1919. Sula Peace, the daughter of Rekus who died when she was 3years old and Hannah, was a young and lonely girl of wild dreams. Sula was born in the same year as Nel, 1910. Sula was a heavy brown color and had large eyes with a birthmark that resembled a stemmed rose to some and many varied things to others. Nel Wright, the daughter of Helene and Wiley, was and unimaginative girl living in a very strict and manipulated life. Nel was lighter in color than Sula and could have passed for white if she had been a few shades lighter she. A trip to visit her dying great-grandmother in the south had a profound effect on Nel’s life. In many ways the trip made her realize her selfness and look at things
The Northern Renaissance was idealistic and fervent in authenticity and the truth. They focused on clients that were financially wealthy and held positions in some form of high power. Italian artists began to go up North to address warfare, and tutoring and education of the Italians became popular. Education spread through diplomacy. The Italian Navy lent a big hand to the influence of moving up to the North. The Northern Renaissance trade routes became one of the most lucrative trade businesses; however, Italy was not a unified nation. There were, however, Italian city states that followed the freedom to express oneself; driving the artist population of small and intimate artists to connect with other parts of Northern Europe, and soon the population of artists
The first half of the Age of Enlightenment saw Italy more as a spectator as opposed to an active participant within the ever-changing affairs of Europe. Italy could not yet incorporate the growing ideology of the Enlightenment due to the Roman Catholic Church that governed the land. However, with the decline of that absolute ecclesiastical authority near the latter half of the eighteenth century, Italy gradually delved into enlightenment thought, and slowly became part of the movement that was dominating Europe. The continuance of scientific research ensued, which led to studies in history and archaeological science. Recognition of social conditions throughout Italy influenced the study of economics and socio-political issues. These new philosophies proved to be the main concerns within the intellectual community as the eighteenth century progressed. (Yawney 1,3-4)
Sor Juana Ines De La Cruz was a woman far beyond her years. Living in a time when society was dominated by men, she disregarded the fact that women during this time were forced to be uncurious objects, whose highest achievement in life was to give birth. Her relentless pursuit to attain knowledge and defy her culture's standards for women is illustrated throughout her writings. In the readings, ("Response to the Most Illustrious Poetess Sor Filotes de la Cruz, the three "Romances" and the "Redondillas"), she spills out her beliefs, feelings and pain in forms of symbolic devices and irony in attempt to erase the differences between men and women as intellectual beings, as well as to argue for a woman's right to pursue
The Italian and Northern Europe Renaissances were both an important mark in history by changing the ideals of life, thought, culture, and art of the people’s of this time.

For instance, painter Angelica Kauffmann’s father trained and pushed her from a very early age. Later he accompanied her on gallery tours and introduced her to the high society of Europe ("Angelica Kauffman"). Most women throughout time did not have this opportunity to develop their artistic talents.
A popular painting that captures the true essence of Sofonisba Anguissola’s particular style would be Three of the Artist's Sisters Playing Chess (1555). The painting, a simple depiction of girls playing a game popular for nobles in the Renaissance shows a more natural and less stiff or pompous version of a home scenario. This development could be chalked up due to the attention to detail in the expressions as compensation for her inability to correctly portray movements of the body which in turn added a characteristic to her painting that no other man could ever possess in his. Since Sofonisba had great admiration for her sisters, she choose to portray them as ‘active, amiable, and intellectually curious’ in their game of chess in a multitude
The renaissance was a time of great and immeasurable change within all aspects of European life; so much so that it could be seen as beginnings of our modern western society. Leading this revitalization in culture and society in Europe’s historical development were to the two of the most dominant states of renaissance Italy, Florence and Venice. These small city-states were the powerhouses of the time and assisted speeding up the renaissance and helped spur revolutionary developments along the way being the main hubs of influence in the Italian peninsula during the late 13th and early 16th century. Florence could be characterized as a financial centre, with their banking system considered extraordinarily ahead of time; in addition being the main producers of fine elevated their chances to conduct successful trading ventures. Venice was considered one of the largest centers of trade being a coastal city of the shores of the Adriatic Sea, which allowed for prosperous trade with what was then considered the Eastern world; the city was also well known for their quality in ship building as well which likely contributed to them being a large naval power in the region. Now due to fact that both city-states were two different sovereign parts of Italy meant having two different approaches and views on or about a multitude of ideas. To understand the impact of Florence and Venice, the two very influential and affluent republics in renaissance Italy, it is crucial to analyze their over
This had been happening since the Crusades, which is why Italy held much more wealth during this time than other parts of Europe. Italy also had a relationship with the Ottoman Empire, as they were trading partners. The ottoman empire significantly influenced the Italian Renaissance. This empire encompassed parts Africa, Asia, and Europe. Ottomans were an economic powerhouse. They were experiencing an Islamic Golden Age which meant they were on a serious pursuit of knowledge. They developed and researched subjects such as Mathematics, Science, and Astronomy. So as Italians reestablished trade they were exposed to the new ideas of the Middle East. This acted as a natural Segway to the Italian Renaissance. Feudalism never flourished in Italy. Italy was more urban whereas the rest of Europe was still rural. Money was made through trade and commerce instead of farming. Cities were the place where people exchanged ideas and the site of an intellectual revolution. This is where people would interact with one another and admire art and architecture.
