The Renaissance: One Thousand Years Later

Man’s 1,000 year struggle finally comes to fruition and it is his renaissance—and his renaissance ignites the world! Man has regained the sense of his greatness—and these 200 years would forever affect all of mankind.

Learn about:

The great men of the Renaissance, the politics, fashion, theater and the food revolution.

The invention of the banking system—the Florin, the currency of Florence, was used from Holland to China.

The discovery of America, the great men behind it and the new ingredients (a real flop from a business point of view!).

The great artists and poets who were also great chefs, including Leonardo, Botticelli and Lorenzo the Magnificent.

The foundation of the first academy of cuisine.

 

Coordinator Dr. Martha McCrory, Paolo Villoresi, and students in the series Florence: Cradle of the Renaissance enjoy themselves at the final reception
