During the renaissance there was a surge of culture in art, literature, architecture, and more. The renaissance was also a time of individualism, which is the perfecting of the individual. Along with individualism, was secularism, a materialistic view of society. Humanism, revival of the classes, was also a big part of the renaissance.
The unification of Italy was when the Italian city states went from having individualistic views to becoming Itlay as we know it today. They were successful in their unification because of their extreme nationalism, which is pride in ones country, cultural unity, language, and belief. Some people who helped with Italy's unification were Gaaribaldi and Cavour.
