The Accademia di Belle Arti di Bologna ("Academy of Fine Arts of Bologna") is a public college of fine arts in Bologna , in the Emilia-Romagna region in northern Italy .
The earliest known art academy in Bologna was the "Accademia dei Desiderosi", later known as the Accademia degli Incamminati , founded around 1582 by Ludovico Carracci , Agostino Carracci and Annibale Carracci , and sometimes known as the "Accademia dei Carracci".
In 1706, Giampietro Zanotti and other artists met at the Palazzo Fava to, with the permission of Pope Clement XI. to found a new academy. The painting academy was opened in the house of Luigi Ferdinando Marsili on January 2nd, 1710. In October 1711 the academy was named "Accademia Clementina". It became part of the Istituto delle Scienze e Arti Liberali, founded with the support of the Pope by Luigi Ferdinando Marsili on December 12, 1711, which was renamed the Accademia delle Scienze dell'Istituto di Bologna in 1714.
The Accademia Clementina occupied one floor of the Palazzo Poggi, then known as Palazzo Cellesi; the Accademia delle Scienze was on the next floor and above that the astronomical observatory "Specola".
At the Accademia Clementina, a. a. Carlo Cignani and Donato Creti, as well as three members of the Galli family of architects and stage designers from Bibbiena in the Casentino mountain valley : Ferdinando Galli da Bibiena , Francesco Galli da Bibiena and Giuseppe Galli da Bibiena . Artists associated with the academy included Vittorio Bigari , Gaetano Gandolfi , Ercole Lelli, Francesco Rosaspina, and Angelo Venturoli.
The Accademia Clementina was closed in 1796 after Napoleon's invasion of Italy .
In 1802 the Napoleonic administration founded a new academy, the "Accademia Nazionale di Belle Arti di Bologna", in the buildings of the former Jesuit church and the monastery of Sant'Ignazio, built by Alfonso Torreggiani between 1728 and 1735. It was renamed “Real Accademia di Belle Arti” in 1805, and in 1815, after the fall of Napoleon and the return of papal authority, the Academy was renamed “Pontificia Accademia di Belle Arti”. After the unification of Italy it was called "Regia Accademia di Belle Arti di Bologna".
In 1882 , the art collection of the academy, the Pinakothek , was separated from the school and given to the Direzione delle Antichità e Belle Arti (now Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali). The two institutions continued to share the same building.
The Accademia Clementina was re-established in 1931 as a scientific society. It shares the premises of the university and has three classes of membership: honorary members, active members who make up the teaching staff of the Accademia, and corresponding members. She publishes a magazine, the “Accademia Clementina. Atti e Memorie ”.
