===Literary-philosophical academies=== <!-- courtesy note: [Draft:]Lumières links here -->
In the 17th century the tradition of literary-philosophical academies, as circles of friends gathering around learned patrons, was continued in Italy; the "[[Accademia degli Umoristi|Umoristi]]" (1611), the "[[Fantastici]] (1625), and the "[[Ordinati]]", founded by [[Cardinal Dati]] and [[Giulio Strozzi]]. About 1700 were founded the academies of the "[[Infecondi]]", the "[[Occulti]]", the "[[Deboli]]", the "[[Aborigini]]", the "[[Immobili]]", the "[[Accademia Esquilina]]", and others. During the 18th century many Italian cities established similar philosophical and scientific academies. In the first half of the 19th century some of these became the [[National Academy|national academies]] of pre-unitarian states: the academy of [[Accesi]] became the [[Panomitan Academy of Buon Gusto]] ([[Trento]]); the academy of [[Timidi]] became the Royal Academy of [[Mantua]]; the [[Accademia dei Ricovrati]] became the [[Galileiana Academy of Arts and Science]] ([[Padova]]); the academy of [[Dissonanti]] became the Royal Academy of [[Modena]] and the academy of [[Oscuri]] became the Royal Academy of [[Lucca]].
