According to its website
( )
this Academy was officially founded on 7 November 1805 as the
Accademia Vald'arnese del Poggio in Figline - at the request of a group
of intellectuals led by Giacomo Sacchetti, then a professor of logic
and metaphysics a the Università di Pisa - as a continuation of
an Achademia Valdarnina founded by Poggio Bracciolini (1380-1459).
For more information, see
Maylender (1926-1930), v.5, pp.417-420.
Determining the name of the Academy at various times is a bit difficult.
Below we bring forward certain pieces of information that give us some
idea of what the various names were.
According to the entry on
RSLC, v.1, p.li (published 1867 - 1872) the title
of the Academy's first journal is
Memorie Valdarnesi : Memorie dell' Accademia Valdarnese del Poggio
and covers the first four volumes (1835 - 1855).
According to a record in the
SBN Italian Union Catalogue,
the Academy published the following in 1841:
Memorie scientifiche della Accademia valdarnese del Poggio.
According to a record in the
SBN Italian Union Catalogue,
the Academy published the following in 1846:
Statuti dell'imperiale e reale Accademia Valdarnese del
Poggio.
According to a record in the
SBN Italian Union Catalogue,
the Academy published the following in 1861:
Statuto dell'Accademia Valdarnese del Poggio.
According to a record in the
GBV German Union cat. the title for
the main journal of the Academy is
Memorie Valdarnesi / Reale Accademia Valdarnese del Poggio.
Because this is a serial entry covering a very long period of time, it is
reasonable to assume that the author attribution,
Reale Accademia Valdarnese del Poggio applies to the journal only
part of the time.
Indeed the history of Italy requires that.
It seems likely that the Reale designation was applied for
some period during the institution of a monarchy for Italy, namely from
about 1860/1866 - 1946.
