1443 A date of 1443 is supported by World Guide to Scientific Associations and Learned Societies (5th ed., 1990, p.145). A date of 1458, however, is supported by the following brief history page on the Accademia Pontaniana. There appears to be some relationship between the Accademia Pontaniana and an Accademia Alfonsina, which was evidently established in Napoli 1442: see the Harvard Univ. cat. entry entitled Cenno storico della Accademia alfonsina : istituita nella citta di Napoli nel 1442 / per Camillo Minieri Riccio., which indicates both Accademia Alfonsina and Accademia Pontaniana as subject headings. It is possible that Accademia Alfonsina was the name in the period from 1442/1443 to 1458.
According to Nicolini (1974), pp.64-65, in a decree of 1934, October 16, the statutes of the Società Reale di Napoli were completely replaced at the order of the Fascist regime. One of the principal modifications was the suppression of the Accademia Pontaniana. Its library, archives and miniscule estate were ceded to the Società Reale di Napoli, and the third Academy of the latter, the Accademia di Scienze Morali e Politiche, was renamed Accademia Pontaniana di Scienze Morali e Politiche.
Nicolini (1974), pp.71-73 indicates that, after the retreat of the German forces and the arrival of the Allied forces, a Commissione was appointed to reform the Società. Among the recommendations of that Commissione on 1944, February 6 was that the suppressed Accademia Pontaniana be brought back to life as an autonomous entity. This was approved on 1944, February 17.

Dates Name Authority

1458 - 1471 Porticus Antonianus The following brief history page on the Accademia Pontaniana indicates that the society was founded as Porticus Antonianus in honour of its founder Antonio Beccadelli [1394-1471], and that on his death it was taken over by Giovanni Pontano [1426-1503]. It seems likely, therefore, that the name change occurred in 1471.

1471 - 1543 Accademia Pontaniana The following brief history page on the Accademia Pontaniana indicates that the society survived until 1543.
