Società Geografica Italiana

Italian geographic society From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Società Geografica Italiana formed as a geographic society in 1867 in Florence, Italy, and moved to Rome in 1872. As of 1924 it operated from headquarters in Villa Mattei in the Celio rione.[1] The society began publishing a journal in 1868, and also sponsored scientific expeditions, such as one to Ethiopia in 1876, led by Orazio Antinori.[2] In 1892 its members were among the first participants of the triennial Congresso geografico italiano [it].[3]
