"[In 1657] there was formed under Ferdinand’s [II.] patronage by his talented brother Prince Leopold [or Leopoldo] the celebrated Accademia del Cimento (Academy of Experiment), the first society for experiments in natural science ever formed in Europe ... the Royal Society of England was not incorporated until 1663, and the French Academy of Science not until 1666. ... at the suggestion of Prince Leopold, the two brothers Giovanni Carlo (or Gian Carlo] and Leopold, both of whom possessed very large collections of pictures of their own besides numerous other objects of art, gave the whole of their collections to form the two galleries of the Pitti and the Uffizi, those belonging to Giovanni Carlo being chiefly made to form the gallery in the Grand Ducal palace itself (the Pitti Gallery) and those belonging to Leopold to form the Uffizi Gallery. At the same time Ferdinand [II.] added to these the general collection of pictures which he had inherited as head of the family, as well as those which he had acquired from Urbino with his wife, Vittoria della Rovere." (in: G. F. Young: The Medici, Vol. 2, id., pp. 438, 444).
