Principe edit
The elected Principe of an academy is literally its principal, not prince (who is similarly "first" among nobles).--Wetman (talk) 17:33, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
- The word itself literally means and meant "prince", but in this context it was used to denote their "principal" or presiding officer. The modern Italian noun for a principal is "principale". Was it different in the 17th century? Did all the Italian accademie use "Principe" for their presiding officer or only this one? I don't know. Voceditenore (talk) 17:49, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
