Italian Renaissance Furniture

During the 15th century in Italy there arose great renewed interest in the heritage of the antique architecture, sculpture, and other fine arts of ancient Rome, called the European renaissance. This revival of classicism occurred principally between the years 1400 and 1650, centered in the city of Florence, later spreading to Rome and other parts of Italy, and was an extremely complex phenomenon, and as we so often see in the interaction between furniture and architecture, these broad changes and developments in architecture design in Italy eventually seeped through to furniture design.
