The statements that accurately describe the roles of the popes and patrons of the arts in restoring the city of Rome are the following: "opened free elementary schools for young boys who showed artistic potential, C) closed Rome to outsiders to protect its unique styles and methods to produce art, and D) employed scribes to copy Latin and Greek texts."
Due to this king of patronage, many artists could work building, sculpting, painting or embellishing buildings in Rome. During the Italian Renaissance, culture and arts spread throughout Italy and other parts of Europe such as Great Britain, France, and Germany. For instance, the rulers of Florence, the Medici Family were the Maecenas of many important Italian artists which means they sponsored and paid for the works of sculptures, painters, and architects. In Rome, the Poe was the one who patronaged those artists.
