This circle met informally in the Castel Nuovo of Alfonso V of Aragon. After the death of Beccadelli in 1471 these meetings were overseen by Giovanni Pontano, hence the name ''Accademia Pontaniana''. During its centuries-old history, the Academy was closed twice. The first closure was in 1542 by the Spanish viceroy of Naples Pedro Álvarez de Toledo, Marquis of Villafranca, as part of his harsh policy of "spagnolizzazione" ("Spanish-ization"). Revived in December 1808, was officially recognized by Royal Decree as an academy in 1825, it was again suppressed by the Fascist government in 1934 and its library burned in 1943. The Academy was restored by decree on February 19, 1944. Benedetto Croce was the President of the Academy from 1917 to 1923. == Structure == Today's the activities of the Accademia Pontaniana includes meetings, reports and competitions. It has five divisions:〔"Classi", as it is customary to call them in Italian academies .〕 * Pure and Applied Mathematics * Natural Science * Science and Morals * History, Archeology and Philology * Literature and Fine Arts Each class is composed of 20 regular members resident in Naples, 10 ordinary members and 20 foreign corresponding members.
