The Academy of Sciences of the Institute of Bologna is an academic society in Bologna, Italy, that prospered in the Age of Enlightenment and is closely associated with the University of Bologna today. It grew from the Accademia degli Inquieti, founded around 1690 by Eustachio Manfredi as a place to discuss mathematics. Count Luigi Ferdinando Marsigli housed it in the Palazzo Poggi, a constitution was approved in 1711, and the Accademia delle Scienze was formally inaugurated in 1714. The institute built an astronomical observatory tower in 1725 and opened a physics cabinet in 1745, with strong support from Pope Benedict XIV. Napoleonic upheavals suspended it in 1804, and it reopened in 1829.
