The Renaissance put knowledge at the heart of value creation, which took place in the workshops of artisan/artists. Here they met and worked together painters, sculptors, and other artists; architects, mathematicians, engineers, anatomists, and other scientists; rich merchants as patrons. All of them gave form and life to Renaissance communities, generators of aesthetic and expressive as well as social and economic values. The result was entrepreneurship that conceived revolutionary ways of working, of designing and delivering products and services, and seeing the world. In short, a spark of prosperity in the hallmark of discontinuity.
