1812

According to its website
( ),
the Ateneo was formed in 1812, January 12, through a decree of Napoleon
Bonaparte, by the merger of the
Società Veneta di Medicina, the
Accademia dei Filareti, and the
Accademia Veneta Letteraria.
But
Maylender, on pp.435-436, v.5, gives the name of the first society as
Accademia Veneta di Medicina, indicating that it was founded
in 1789, dissolved in 1793, and reconstituted in 1807.
Maylender, on p.373, v.2, gives the founding date of the
Accademia dei Filareti as 1804.
And Maylender indicates (p.434-435, v.5),
that the third society was actually the
Accademia Veneta di Belle Lettere, which had been formed in 1806
through the merger of the Accademia Veneta Letteraria, which had
been founded in 1802, and the Accademia dei Sofronomi (which had
been formed only that year, according to
Maylender p.201, v.5).
Furthermore, Maylender (pp.373-374, v.2) indicates that the date of
Napoleon's decree was actually 1810.
It is possible that the latter is true, with the first assembly being held
in 1812.
