"The Renaissance was a time of rebirth for the arts and education in Europe and especially Italy. During this stimulating era culture, philosophy, poetry and the sciences flourished. The Princess of the Renaissance™ is a privileged child of the beautiful city of Florence living in an exciting time of renewal and enlightenment. She wears an elegant gown and headdress like those worn in Italy during the 14th century by noblewomen and members of the wealthy merchant class."
