title: [The Accademia dei Lincei (1603-1630) and the Accademia del Cimento (1657-1667].
abstract: The development of scientific academies during the 17th century in the old Italian States is illustrated on the basis of two examples: that of the Accademia dei Lincei with seat in Rome and that of the Accademia del Cimento with seat in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. After a short survey of their activities follow some reflections on the causes of their ending.
