🔱 Life in Renaissance Italy: The Untold Story Behind the Glory | Full Documentary

Step beyond the frescoes and famous names to discover the real Renaissance.

In this powerful documentary, we peel back the gilded facade of Renaissance Italy to reveal a world of breathtaking contrasts. While artists like Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci redefined human potential, ordinary Italians faced plagues, poverty, and the ruthless grip of politics and religion.

From the grandeur of Florence’s palazzos to the alleys of plague-stricken towns, explore how trade, war, class, gender, art, and religion shaped daily life during one of history’s most iconic eras. Meet the Medici bankers, condottieri mercenaries, defiant courtesans, visionary scientists, and countless unnamed commoners whose lives built the Renaissance from the ground up.
