According to p. 10 of Accademia Lucchese
(1985), the Accademia traces its origins to the year 1584, when
Giovanni Lorenzo Malpighi began to organize meetings of learned friends
in his palazzo; this group became known as the
Accademia degli Oscuri.
This Accademia had, however, been preceded by one known as the
Accademia Lucchese, which appears to have been of short duration;
many members of the latter Accademia later joined the Accademia degli
Oscuri.
We find more information about this early Accademia Lucchese on
pp.9 and 10 of v.4 of
Maylender (1926-1930), where we find a
reference from the heading
Accademia Lucchese - prima - Lucca to his entry on the
Accademia Bernardiniana - Lucca (v.1, pp.442-443), and also
a reference from the heading
Accademia Lucchese - seconda - Lucca to his entry on the
Accademia degli Oscuri (v.1, pp.153-164).
We conclude that this earlier Accademia Lucchese was the
Accademia Bernardiniana founded by Guiseppe Bernardini
only a little before the founding of the
Accademia degli Oscuri in 1584 by Malpighi.
Accademia Lucchese (1985) p.10 indicates that the designation
Oscuri is related to their coat of arms, which displays burning
coals, which means that their brilliance overcomes the darkness
(oscurità) of that which is not knowledge.
Accademia Lucchese (1985) p.10 indicates that the Accademia changed
its name following the vicissitudes of the government during the
Napoleonic, Austrian and Bourbon periods, but does not (on p.10) give the
names during these periods.
Accademia Lucchese (1985) p.11 indicates that the Accademia was known
from 1584 to 1805 as the Accademia degli Oscuri.
But in 1805, with the start of the Napoleonic period, it took the name
Accademia Napoleone
(Accademia Lucchese (1985) p.12).
Accademia Lucchese (1985) p.12 indicates that in 1814, with the fall
of the Napoleonic dynasty and the incoming Austrian provisional
government (1814 - 1817), the Accademia took once again its former name of
Accademia degli Oscuri and also Accademia di Belle Lettere.
Accademia Lucchese (1985) p.12 also indicates that this was followed
by the Bourbon dukedom (1817-1847) with Maria-Luisa di Borbone-Parma
and
her son Principe Carlo Ludovico, who became perpetual president of the
Accademia, and desired to restore the former name of
Accademia Lucchese di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti adding to it the
designation Reale.
Maylender (1926-1930) v.4, p.164 tells a
somewhat different story.
Apparently, in 1814 the incoming provisional government decreed that the
Accademia had to resume its former name of Accademia degli Oscuri.
But the latter was not preferred, and the Accademia, following the example
of the Accademia Cosentina, incorporated the adjectival form of its
seat (Lucca) into its new name, the Accademia Lucchese in 1814.
And, in 1816, because the Accademia obtained the support of the
Bourbons (Maria Luisa di Borbone-Parma and her son Principe Carlo
Ludovico), it was adorned with the designation Reale.
Accademia Lucchese (1985) p.13 indicates that the perpetual presidency
of the Accademia passed to the Granduca di Toscana, Leopoldo II, and
afterwards, with the advent of the Kingdom of Italy, to the royalty in the
House of Savoy.
[Note: According to a
Wikipedia article on Carlo Lodovico di Borbone, Carlo Ludovico
remained as leader of the dukedom of Lucca from 1824 to 1847, until Lucca
was annexed to the Grand Dukedom of Tuscany.
Moreover, according to a
Historical Note on Florence, Italy,
the Monarchy of a united Italy lasted from 1860 - 1946, when the Republic
began.]
