Accademia dei Gelati di Bologna Academy of the Frozen Ones of Bologna

Founding of the Society
Year	Authority / Notes
1588	According to Maylender (1926-1930), v.3, p.81, the Accademia was founded in 1588 in the home of il Dott. Melchiorre Zoppio. Maylender (1926-1930), v.3, p.86 indicates that the Accademia was still flourishing in 1786, and lasted until the end of the eighteenth century, when the upheavals of the time caused the dissolution of the Accademia almost inadvertently. Maylender (1926-1930), v.3, p.84 notes that one of the most important publications of the Accademia was the 1671 Prose de' Signori Accademici Gelati di Bologna. Maylender (1926-1930), v.3, p.85 indicates that the latter volume was supposed to have been the first part of a series of Prose, but that this noble resolution was not carried out until nearly a century later when in 1753 the Academy published the Orazioni di Accademici Gelati di Bologna dedicate alla Santità di N. S. Benedetto XIV.
