THE HISTORY 

The Accademia dei Disuniti was born in Pisa in 1623 (1624 in the Pisan calendar) and was refounded, after centuries of inactivity, in 1995, with the aim of rediscovering and enhancing Pisan tradition and culture with period events, concerts and conferences aimed at describing the glorious history of Pisa.
