Thus was born the Academy Rovereto Agiati of Sciences, Letters and Arts "of the wealthy" - lentorum in Latin - to indicate that intellectual activity is otium: the arms academia, where a snail slowly goes back a pyramid, is entrusted with the task of symbolizing the human intellect without haste or apparent effort, he aspires to knowledge.
Thanks to correspondence with literary figures and scientists in the meetings Saibanti home soon thicken. There are opportunities to quibble about science and philosophy, make up and share tales and sonnets - mostly humorous - by statute as leaving a copy at the academy. It takes the body soon, so, the historic core of the archive and library.

not call globalized
A former teacher of Italian and Latin, and then dean "of the student revolts during the years," Prof. Caffieri has been president since 1993. Despite the centuries, he feels very close to the figure of Empress Maria Teresa, "which contributed to the development of Trieste, my hometown - he says - by encouraging the construction of the port and making it the largest seaport of the Hapsburg Empire." It is not surprising that the exchanges were so numerous and intense in the 700. "Rovereto - in particular, was on the borders of the empire - says the president of Agiati - and lived there most of the intellectual importance of training both the Italian and German. Many had studied in Innsbruck, Salzburg or Vienna, and then completed his studies in Padua, Bologna or Siena or Rome. You can certainly speak of a sound European training, even because in 1750 not yet hung the shadow of nationalism. " Among the members of the Academy also boasts famous Italians Antonio Rosmini, Fortunato Depero, Carlo Goldoni. Today it has 330 members, divided into "ordinary" or born in Trentino Alto Adige, and "matching", ie born elsewhere. Approval is subject to nomination by two members, submitted to the board and vote on the Academy.

trade, openness to interdisciplinary study and relationships with major Italian and European universities and academies are still the main theme of Agiati. That still have one of the primary purposes of maintaining a perspective historical, cultural and humanities are not strictly localist. Take turns, therefore, conventions and conferences, book presentations and exchanges of publications, not without pride, points out Prof. Caffieri - 'in collaboration with local and national institutions, the Accademia dei Lincei, the University of Verona, Padua, Bologna and many others, for an average of 33 events a year. These exchanges allow us to bring people here at the highest level.
