| In the middle of the 15th century, Italy’s cities were among the largest in Europe. The dominance of despotic rule within these large city-states helped Italy achieve relative tranquillity and great prosperity, conditions that fostered the birth of the Renaissance. The shaded areas surrounding each city on this map represent the city’s area of influence. | ||||||
