Last Monday, our class had our Renaissance dinner party! I got to meet many important figures and artists of the Renaissance there who all contributed to the change that came to Italy and Europe. Some of these people I meet 
were Catherine de Medici, a patron of the arts, Francis Bacon, who promoted the scientific method, Johann Gutenberg, who invented the printing press, Titian, who was the official artist of Venice, and many more! At the dinner party, I played the role of Savonarola. He, or “I”, was a preacher,argued for equality,and dedicated his life to reforming the corruption of the church and society. It was a fun activity, and I learned a lot about the many important and influential people of the Renaissance and what they did that brought about this rebirth in culture.
