The Renaissance began in Italy during the late 1300’s and continued till the 1500’s, spreading slowly to the rest of Europe. Electricity hadn’t been discovered yet really so there were no telephones or telegraphs (those werent invented till the mid to late 1800′). Addresses really didn’t exist either, so when a message was sent (either by foot or horseback) a name and a description and location of the person’s place of residence was needed.
