In subsequent volumes appear works of leading scientists from Piedmont and Europeans: remember the first scientific writings of Amedeo Avogadro, the many astronomical writings of G. Plana, a prelude to his Theorie de la Lune, the Voyage sur le Mont-Rose of J. Zumstein.

The Académie des Sciences de Turin, founded as a Societas Taurinensis private initiative of Luigi Lagrange, Angelo Saluzzo Monesiglio, Gianfrancesco Cigna and other scientists from Piedmont and still operating today, mark a very significant phase of scientific research in the Piedmont region in the second half of the eighteenth and in the first decades of the nineteenth century, in the age of Enlightenment and the period Carloalbertino, through the revolutionary events, the annexation of Piedmont to France as a Department of the Empire, and the Restoration. We have 26 vols of the first series, consisting of XL volumes, in its various titrations and joints.
