Accademia dei Lincei

Scientific society founded in Rome in 1603 by Federico Cesi. Galileo and Giambattista della Porta were among its most important early members. After a long decline it was revived in 1795 and in 1870 was remodelled as the Academia Nazionale dei Lincei, Italy's national academy, covering both arts and sciences.
