“اصولا بچه های طبیعی در ایتالیای عصر رنسانس زیاد بودند و بعضی از آنها کارهای بزرگی انجام دادند. علتش این بود که در عصر رنسانس مردم ناگهان متوجه شدند که امکانات زندگی کردن خیلی بیش از آن است که خیال می کرده اند؛ و اگر آدم آن طور که دلش می خواهد زندگی کند، اتفاق خاصی نمی افتد. به همین جهت گروه کثیری از مردم آن طور که دلشان می خواست زندگی کردند؛ در نتیجه بچه های طبیعی مثل شقایق که در صحرا می روید در سراسر ایتالیا پدیدار شدند. این تمایل مردم ایتالیا در آن دوره به زندگی دلخواه همان چیزی است که به (( روح رنسانس)) معروف است.”
