Currency and emblem

The Academy takes again the orange tree and its fruits like emblem and the currency perennial Flores fructusque of the Académie florimontane (1606 to 1610).

Foundation

The Savoy had an academy dice the 17th century, founded by François de Sales, the Académie florimontane, but it fell quickly in disuse. In 1815, the Savoyard elite noting the absence of a provincial academy decides to found an academy with the height of that born in the Piedmontese capital (the Academy of Science of Turin, founded in 1759).

Four local personalities wish, in 1815, “to create a company which would be used as engine with material progress, intellectual and moral”: the cardinal Alexis Billiet (1783-1873), bishop of Chambéry, the general count François de Mouxy de Loche (1756-1837), the senator count Xavier de Vignet, and of the well-read man-mathematician Georges-Marie Raymond (1769-1839), founder of the newspaper Savoy . In 1820, the Academic Company of Savoy was born. These founders wish to study Savoy and its territory, they thus open their research with “agriculture, the industrial arts, botany, chemistry, geology, medicine and pharmacy, meteorology, the statistics, the history and the literature”.

In order to achieve their work, they associate four collaborators: monseigneur Louis Returned (1789-1858), bishop of Annecy, the doctor Jean-François Guilland (1773-1855), vice-protomédecin of the Clean province of Savoy, the doctor Antoine Gouvert (), and the baron Louis de Vignet of the Stoles (), intendant of the Duchy of Savoy.
