Question: The period during which the mosaic fell out of fashion began in which area of the continent where Segrate is located?

It grew in fragments, with the very first traces found seemingly in Italy, coming to cover much of Europe, for some scholars marking the beginning of the modern age. The Renaissance (UK: / rɪˈneɪsəns /, US: / rɛnəˈsɑːns /) is a period in European history, covering the span between the 14th and 17th centuries. It is an extension of the Middle Ages, and is bridged by the Age of Enlightenment to modern history. <SEP> Although it is a small town, Segrate hosts large structures such as the CILEA Interuniversity Consortium, among the most advanced supercomputing centers in Europe, and the San Raffaele Hospital. Segrate received the honorary title of city with a presidential decree on 23 June 1989. <SEP> the ordovician period started at a major extinction event called the cambrian-ordovician extinction events some time about 485.4 ± 1.9 ma. during the ordovician the southern continents were collected into a single continent called gondwana. gondwana started the period in the equatorial latitudes and, as the period progressed, drifted toward the south pole. early in the ordovician the continents laurentia, siberia and baltica were still independent continents (since the break-up of the supercontinent pannotia earlier), but baltica began to move toward laurentia later in the period, causing the iapetus ocean to shrink between them. also, avalonia broke free from gondwana and began to head north toward laurentia. the rheic ocean was formed as a result of this. by the end of the period, gondwana had neared or approached the pole and was largely glaciated. <SEP> in parts of italy, which were under eastern artistic influences, like sicily and venice, mosaic making never went out of fashion in the middle ages. the whole interior of the st mark's basilica in venice is clad with elaborate, golden mosaics. the oldest scenes were executed by greek masters in the late 11th century but the majority of the mosaics are works of local artists from the 12th–13th centuries. the decoration of the church was finished only in the 16th century. one hundred and ten scenes of mosaics in the atrium of st mark's were based directly on the miniatures of the cotton genesis, a byzantine manuscript that was brought to venice after the sack of constantinople (1204). the mosaics were executed in the 1220s. <SEP> Mosaic has a long history, starting in Mesopotamia in the 3rd millennium BC. Pebble mosaics were made in Tiryns in Mycenean Greece; mosaics with patterns and pictures became widespread in classical times, both in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. Early Christian basilicas from the 4th century onwards were decorated with wall and ceiling mosaics. Mosaic fell out of fashion in the Renaissance, though artists like Raphael continued to practise the old technique. Mosaic art flourished in the Byzantine Empire from the 6th to the 15th centuries; that tradition was adopted by the Norman kingdom in Sicily in the 12th century, by eastern-influenced Venice, and among the Rus in Ukraine. Roman and Byzantine influence led Jews to decorate 5th and 6th century synagogues in the Middle East with floor mosaics.
