"Praise the Lord! After a Holy War, millions of Moors from the Peninsula, along with the Wealth they accumulated over four hundred years, became spoils of war, continuously shipped to the various City-States in the Apennines! The entire Italian Peninsula is thriving like never before, with workshops in every City-State expanding several-fold. The Roman Church has also gained great wealth and started sponsoring 'artists' to build brand new Vatican Palaces, even using 'Ancient Roman and Ancient Greek' paintings and sculptures. The Great Nobility of each City-State is following suit, trying to be the 'protectors of ancient arts,' leaving their mark in history... Tsk tsk, it's really crazy what people do when they have too much money..."
