Impossible to become renaissance person today? well yes it probabally is.
Although it is much more possible and easier to become inamored with the idea of
becoming like them and wanting to experience what they did. I have had the
opportunity of visiting Venice last summer and now that I am learning more and
more about what happened in those Italian cities it feels great to know that I
actually walked down some of the same streets as these great people. I like the
idea of being a renaissance person I wish it were possible but like some other
people have said there are so many areas of study and subcatagories upon
subcatagories that it seems almost immpossible to think that a person now could
become like the people then. Although it is possible as always to try our best,
as fast as time does seem to go these days it is only like that because we make
it
