Società Agraria di Torino
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the similar organisation founded in Turin in 1842, see Associazione Agraria Subalpina.
The Società Agraria (Agrarian Society) of Turin was founded on 24 May 1785, by edict of Victor Amadeus III, King of Sardinia, ‘to promote for the public advantage the cultivation of lands mainly in His Majesty's felicitous dominions in accordance with rules both appropriate and in keeping with their varied natures’. The organisation was later granted royal status, becoming the Reale Società Agraria, and today is known as the Accademia di Agricoltura di Torino (Turin Academy of Agriculture).[1]
