What were the impacts of the Italian Renaissance
Explain please.
Arguably the most impactful legacies of Italian Renaissance are secularism, the appreciation of physical beauty and especially the emphasis on man's achievements and expression formed the governing intellectual principle of the Italian Renaissance. This philosophy is known as "humanism." Humanism encouraged people to be curious and to question received wisdom (particularly that of the medieval Church). It also encouraged people to use experimentation and observation to solve earthly problems. As a result, many Renaissance intellectuals focused on trying to define and understand the laws of nature and the physical world. However, perhaps the most important technological development of the Renaissance happened not in Italy but in Germany, where Johannes Gutenberg invented the mechanical movable-type printing press in the middle of the 15th century.
