1738 According to Maylender (1926-1930), v.4, p.23, the Academy was founded on 1738, April 18 in the home of its founder, il conte Giammaria Mazzuchelli, a celebrated historian of Italian literature. The group had neither statutes, seal, nor executive. Indeed, from reading the entry on this group in Maylender (1926-1930), v.4, pp.23-24, it is not clear whether the group was actually named Accademia Mazzuchelliana, or whether this was merely a convenient descriptive label that Maylender assigned to it.
Maylender (1926-1930), v.4, pp.23-24 notes that in 1742, Mazzuchelli moved from Brescia to Venice and for a long time remained there. The Academy was therefore silent until 1753, when it was renewed through the stimulation of the Dominican P. Lettore Gaetano Locatelli. When Locatelli departed in 1756, the Academy became dormant once again; it was revived in 1760 by Vincenzo Ricci from Capodistria.
According to Maylender (1926-1930), v.4, p.24, the Academy was still flourishing in 1765, when its founder passed away. Shortly thereafter it was transformed into an Accademia Agraria through the work of Ferdinando Facchini and Luigi Chizzola, and lodged in the Biblioteca Queriniana. In 1768, the Academy merged into the Accademia di Fisica Sperimentale.
According to Maylender (1926-1930), v.2 p.416, the Accademia Bresciana di Fisica Sperimentale was founded in 1760 by P. Gesuita Frederico Sanvitali. This Academy is referred to by a different name in work by Sanvitali (published in 1760 under the name of another, Giacomo Turlino): Istituzione dell'Accademia di Fisica e Storia Naturale in Brescia.
Maylender (1926-1930), v.2 p.418 notes that Sanvitali died a year after founding this 1760 Academy. Despite the merging of the Accademia Agraria and the Accademia d'Architettura into Sanvitali's Academy, the latter survived for only a few years more.
