According to historian Ellen Rosand the academy, in keeping with its name, usually operated behind the scenes. Members often wrote in a secret language, and frequently published their works anonymously. The academy was particularly active in the promotion of musical theatre in Venice from the 1630s onward, founding its own theatre, the Novissimo, which flourished briefly between 1614 and 1645. In their librettos for musical dramas the iconoclastic intellectuals of the academy set a tone which was "[often] shockingly frank and frequently amoral". Among these librettists were Giacomo Badoaro, who wrote Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria for Claudio Monteverdi, and Giovanni Francesco Busenello, who provided Monteverdi with the libretto for the composer's final and arguably greatest operatic work,

  • According to historian Ellen Rosand the academy, in keeping with its name, usually operated behind the scenes. Members often wrote in a secret language, and frequently published their works anonymously. The academy was particularly active in the promotion of musical theatre in Venice from the 1630s onward, founding its own theatre, the Novissimo, which flourished briefly between 1614 and 1645. In their librettos for musical dramas the iconoclastic intellectuals of the academy set a tone which was "[often] shockingly frank and frequently amoral". Among these librettists were Giacomo Badoaro, who wrote Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria for Claudio Monteverdi, and Giovanni Francesco Busenello, who provided Monteverdi with the libretto for the composer's final and arguably greatest operatic work, L'incoronazione di Poppea. Although the academy is often depicted as a group of "sceptical libertines extolling a peculiarly Venetian brand of (im)morality", Loredano was a respected senator of the Venetian republic; other members likewise served the Republic as senators or councillors, and the academy remained an unofficial centre of political power for several decades. Its influence began to wane in the late 1650s, and by 1661 the academy had ceased to meet.
