When and where did the Renaissance begin?

Leonardo Da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 in Vince Italy. Leonardo was a painter, sculptor, map maker engineer, and an inventor. He painted the Mona Lisa.
Music in the Renaissance was composed by the church. The motets were in Latin for important court chapels. The Gregorian Chant was a musical for the church too.
Niccolo Machiavelli was born on May 3, 1469 to June 21, 1527. He was a poet, politician, musician, and a playwriter. I picked Niccolo for Literature because he wrote the The Prince which is a story about a prince wanting to gain the throne.
Nicolaus Copernicus was born on February 19, 1473 to May 24, 1543. He was an astronomer, mathematician, jurist, physician, scholar, cleric governor, administrator, diplomat, and an economist. I chose Nicolaus because he was the astronomer to make a modern heliocentric theory of the solar system.
