Accademia Nazionale di Agricoltura

According to p.145 of Georgofili (1931) this body was founded by Napoléon Bonaparte (1769 –1821) in 1807 as the Società Agraria del Dipartimento del Reno. On p.146, we learn that on December 25, 1810 a decree was issued to transform the Society into a simple agricultural section of the Ateneo Bolognese (the University or Academy of Bologna). According to p.148, on November 9 of 1811 the Society first met in this non-autonomous role. But on p.148 and following pages we learn that the Society suffered from the political and military crises of the day and eventually fell into a state of inactivity, from which it was revived in 1822 (p.151) but with insufficient funding. They ceased to meet regularly in 1827 (p.153).

The society was not reactivated until 1839 by the Province (p.154) and has had a continuous existence since then. In revising their statutes, they broadened their field of activity to cover the entire Province of Bologna (p.156).

The society was known for a long period as Società Agraria Provinciale di Bologna, or simply Società Agraria di Bologna. It is now called Accademia Nazionale di Agricoltura.

According to p.205 of Georgofili (1931), a retrospective volume (v.1) with this title for 1807 to 1839 was inserted in the Nuovi Annali delle Scienze Naturali (published by the Accademia delle Scienze dell'Istituto di Bologna ; v.2 and v.3 of the Rendiconto were also published in the Nuovi Annali; v.2 covering 1839 - 1850 was also published separately in 1853, and v.3 covering 1850/1851 and 1851/1852 was published separately in 1852.

The entry in the NUC Pre-1956 Imprints, v.553, p.580, indicates that Vol. 1-51, 56- (1861-1911, 1921- ) are also v. 11-61, 66- of the Memorie della Società agraria provinciale du [sic] Bologna, and that Vol. 52-55 omit the volume numbering of the Annali on t.-p., giving the numbering of the Memorie only; v. 62-66. But with v.56 of the Annali the double numbering is resumed.

The entry in the Union List of Serials, v.5, p.3916, gives the holdings as 1861 - 1911 (v.1 - v.51), 1912 - 1919? (v.62 - v.65), and also indicates that this title is a continuation of the society's Memorie.

According to p.168 of Georgofili (1931) with vol.56 [= v.66, 1921] the regular publication of the Annali ceased, but a vol.57 (1928/1929) and vol.58 (1930) were also added (the author seems clearly to be using the lower number scheme here).
