This volume reconstructs the founding phase of the Institute and of the Academy of Sciences of Bologna and their placement in the international scientific context. In particular the different chapters deal with the programs developed by the group of young scientists who were already members of the Accademia degli Inquieti and who were directly or indirectly involved in the activity of the city’s scientific circles; the legacy of Marcello Malpighi and the driving role played by personalities of good European reputation such as Gian Domenico Cassini, Giambattista Morgagni, Domenico Guglielmini; the impact with Newtonian science through the research and the observations of Eustachio Manfredi, Francesco Algarotti, and Laura Bassi.
