Italian Academies have typically been studied individually or in the context of specific cities, leaving an important lacuna in the scholarship on Italian culture and early modernity. Cutting across various disciplines, this volume traces the relationships of these Academies and explains how they prefigured networks like the République des letters.
This book examines Italian academies as one of the most important social and intellectual phenomena of the Italian peninsula in the early modern period. He It argues that academies should be studied as networks of individuals and his critical reading adds an important aspect of early-modern social networks and their impact on European culture. Italian Academies and their Networks, 1525-1700: From Local to Global is divided into four chapters that explore the representations of Italian academies from the sixteenth century to our days, academies and politics in Venice, illustrated biographies as ''facebooks'' in four different academies, and Italian academies an as the basis for later networks.
