Предлагаю несколько изменить название раздела, а именно "История Италии в средние века и эпоху Возрождения", поскольку тематика многих файлов выходит за хронологические рамки Средневековья.
Такой раздел возможен. Но некотрые файлы по хронологическому принципу могут относиться как к разделу по средневековью, так и категории по Возрорждению. Дело в том, что средневековье и Ренессанс хронологически пересекаются (14-15 вв.). А предложенное название "История Италии в средние века и эпоху Возрождения" такое пересечение учитывает. Не возражаю на замену в названии: с "... эпохи Возрождения" на "... эпоху Ренессанса".
