Accademia degli Intronati

Accademia degli Intronati =
Academy of the Dazed Ones

Founding of the Society

Year Authority / Notes

1525 This date is supported by a brief history page on the Accademia, where we also read that it was considered a continuation of an academy in Siena in the previous century (the 15th century), which was called "la Grande".
According to this brief history page on the Accademia, it was a group of writers headed by Enea Silvio Piccolomini, the future Pope Pius II. The reason for their name is that they wished to distance themselves from the noises of the world, by which they felt stunned, or dazed, in order that they might cultivate literature.
Its activity was interrupted during the last years of the republic of Siena. It opened up again in 1559, but was shut down again ten years later along with other societies in the city by Cosimo I de' Medici, the new governor of Siena. It once again resumed its activity in 1603. In 1654 it was merged with the Accademia dei Filomati.
In 1928, the Accademia degli Intronati was passed over to the Comune di Siena, which in 1935 transformed it to an Academy, and in 1941 gave it the official title Accademia Senese degli Intronati.
The Accademia seems never to have published a journal.
