Academia Secretorum Naturae
One of the earliest scientific societies, the Academia Secretorum Naturae was founded in Naples 1560 by Giambattista della Porta, a noted polymath. In Italian it was called Accademia dei Segreti, the Academy of the Mysteries of Nature, and the members termed themselves the otiosi (men of leisure).
