The works of Dante, Giotto and Petrarch, brought a change in ways of thinking which showed a transition from Medieval to Renaissance period. The transformation began because people were experiencing new things, ideas from other parts of states and wanted to come out of their present situation. The crusades and flourishing of the trade city-states like Florence, Milan, Venice, and Genoa helped in bringing ideas and culture in Italy. Giotto was an Italian painter during the 14th century brought changes in painting technique which later came up in Renaissance paintings.
