Specialist Notes

Between 1600 and 1650, dozens of public and private academies flourished in Naples, true communities of aristocratic ostentation, intense networking, and intellectual practices. From medical-scientific knowledge to hagiographic literature, from rich encomiastic testimonies to detailed celebratory narratives , from literary production to historical-philosophical dissertations. on language and genres, the study of the Neapolitan academic circles of the Modernity opens to a historical period during which Naples occupied an authoritative position in the Republic of the Literati. The latter typically operated in two spheres: the court circles and the institutions, often public surrogates of courtly intellectual activity that took shape through the establishment of intellectual circles .
The Academy of the Oziosi was a cultural institution whose importance is also remembered in the travel literature published in Europe in the seventeenth century. and whose prestige depended greatly on the presence of members such as Giambattista Marino.
