Academia
Academia is a collective term for the scientific and cultural community engaged in
higher education and
research, taken as a whole.The word comes from the
akademeia just outside ancient
Athens, where the
gymnasium was made famous by
Plato as a center of learning. The sacred space, dedicated to the goddess of wisdom,
Athene, had formerly been an
olive grove, hence the expression "the groves of Academe".By extension Academia has come to connote the cultural accumulation of
knowledge, its development and transmission across generations and its practitioners and transmitters. In the seventeenth century,
English and
French religious scholars popularized the term to describe certain types of institutions of higher learning. The English adopted the form academy while the French adopted the forms acadème and académie.

Accademia
Un'Accademia è un'istituzione destinata agli
studi più raffinati e all'approfondimento delle conoscenze di più alto livello. Il termine può indicare una società
scientifica dedicata alla
ricerca nel campo delle scienze naturali, della filosofia e delle belle arti. L'aura di prestigio associato all'origine del nome spinge molti istituti (soprattutto privati) a fregiarsi di questo appellativo, non sempre in maniera appropriata.
