Mediterranean Renaissance

The Mediterranean Renaissance refers to a renewed cultural, artistic, and intellectual revival centered around the Mediterranean region, particularly during the late Middle Ages and early modern period. It was inspired by rediscovering classical Greek and Roman ideas, leading to advances in art, science, navigation, and trade. This movement fostered a sense of renewed identity and connection among Mediterranean countries like Italy, Spain, and the Ottoman Empire, promoting innovation and cultural exchange. It played a key role in shaping the transition from medieval to modern times by encouraging exploration, new technologies, and expanded cultural horizons.
