Italy was the seat of civilization, the location of ancient Rome and heir to the Greek civilizations. It was also the place where Christianity was nurtured and grew into a political power.
At that particular time Italy was also the strongest economic power in the western world, but it wasn't one country--it was a collection of city-states.
Also, its ports gave it access to the rest of the known world, which was mainly the Mediterranean area. Genoa was the home of Columbus.

Painters like Michaelangelo needed sponsors, and the church had money and projects it wanted done. Italy also had some of the finest universities in Europe at the time.
