The Royal Academy of Italy (Italian: Reale Accademia d'Italia) was a short-lived Italian academy of the Fascist period. It was created on 7 January 1926 by royal decree,[1] but was not inaugurated until 28 October 1929.[2] It was effectively dissolved in 1943 with the fall of Mussolini, and was finally suppressed on 28 September 1944.[3] All of its functions and assets, including the Villa Farnesina, were passed to the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei.[3] Until 25 April 1945 it continued some activity in the Villa Carlotta on Lake Como near Tremezzo in Lombardy.[4]
The declared purpose of the academy was "to promote and coordinate Italian intellectual activity in the sciences, the humanities, and the arts, to preserve the integrity of the national spirit, according to the genius and tradition of the race, and to encourage their diffusion [abroad]".[5]
