Talk:Roman academies

Obsolete text

The following passage occurs in the article (copied, no doubt, from some old guidebook):

The Roman Academies in the service of the fine arts are the following: Regia Accademia Romana di San Luca (Accademia delle Belle Arti). This academy exhibits the evolution of the Roman corporation of artist-painters, reformed under Sixtus V (1577) by Federigo Zuccari and Girolamo Muziano. It took then the title of academy, and had for its purpose the teaching of the fine arts, the reward of artistic merit, and the preservation and illustration of the historic and artistic monuments of Rome. In respect of all these it enjoyed papal approval and encouragement. It rendered great services and counted among its members illustrious masters and pupils. In 1870 it passed under the control of the new government, and is now under the patronage of the King. It possesses a gallery of paintings and an excellent library, open to the public (44, Via Bonella).

Four points:

• The king was made obsolete by the Plebiscite of 1946, which established the Italian Republic;
• The paragraph is full of peacock language.
• The address is wrong. See: Accademia di San Luca
• The paragraph is unreferenced.

A rewrite or a deletion is necessary.

British and American archaeological society

A poor quality entry and should be removed or updated I think. No idea if this organisation still exists either, I think not. Rmcubed (talk) 19:51, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Intro section

Needs redoing by an expert to contextualise and situate. I have clarified where I could. Rmcubed (talk) 19:56, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
