Founding of the Society

Year Authority / Notes

1814
According to the Enciclopedia Italiana, v.24, p.255, the first statutes of the Circolo degli Aspiranti Naturalisti were approved in Naples in 1814, and it later became the Società dei Naturalisti in Napoli.

According to Maylender (1926-1930), v.1, p.362, the Accademia degli Aspiranti Naturalisti was founded by Oronzio Gabriele Costa in 1838. Maylender ( 1926-1930), v.1, pp.362-363 also reports the words of Costa himself, saying that he had barely assumed the Chair of natural history at the University of Naples, when he began inviting young students to his home for evening conversations. These conversations became regular. Gradually, Costa says, he found himself in a position to implement an idea that had already matured since 1817, but which could not have taken place then because of the political climate. Costa goes on to say that in 1838 he founded the Accademia, to which he gave the title Aspiranti Naturalisti. It was formally inaugurated in January of 1841.

Maylender (1926-1930), v.1, p.364 notes that because of the political events in the Kingdom, the Academy was dissolved in 1850, but Costa revived it in 1861, and it was once again inaugurated on 1861, January 6. Maylender (1926-1930), v.1, p.364 indicates that the Academy published its Atti, its Memorie, and its Bullettino.

The website () of the Società dei Naturalisti in Napoli takes the story further, and also gives a somewhat different account of the history. It indicates that in 1881 some students in the Facoltà di Scienze naturali, Chimica e Fisica dell'Università di Napoli decided to establish another Circolo degli Aspiranti Naturalisti in a clear reference to the earlier institution that had been founded by Oronzo Gabriele Costa in 1841, but dissolved 1849 for political reasons. Its website also indicates that the new Circolo changed its name in 1887 to Società dei Naturalisti in Napoli
