Accademia dei Ricovrati =
Academy of the Sheltered Ones

Founding of the Society

Year Authority / Notes

1599 According to p.9 of Maggiolo, the Accademia was founded in 1599 by Abbot Federico Cornaro, and there were twenty-five other distinguished people present, including Galileo Galilei.
They chose for their shield an image of a cave with an opening at both ends and sheltered by an olive tree, with the motto from Boethius Bipatens animis asylum (a sanctuary to the spirit open at both ends). Their name Ricovrati (the Sheltered Ones) is evidently related to this heraldic device.
According to Maggiolo, p.7, in 1779, by decree of the Venetian Senate, the Accademia dei Ricovrati merged with the Accademia di Arte Agraria (founded 1769) to form the Accademia di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti di Padova.
The Accademia dei Ricovrati did not publish any journals during its existence. But according to Maggiolo, p.12, they published, from time to time, collections of writings by their members. For example:

Compositioni delli Signori Academici Ricovrati per la nascita del Serenissimo Principe Gioseppe, Giacomo, ... Archiduca d'Austria.... Padova, 1678.
Applausi dell'Accademia de' Ricovrati alle Glorie della Serenissima Repubblica di Venezia. Padova, 1679.
Compositioni degli Academici Ricovrati per la Morte della Nob. D. Signora Elena Lucretia Cornaro Piscopia.... Padova, 1684.
Componenti dell'Accademia de' Ricovrati per la Traslazione del Corpo del Ven. Gregorio Card. Barbarigo.... Padova, 1726.
