The Ornithology Collection of the Accademia dei Fisiocritici has a strong regional character and currently contains 2,874 birds belonging to 816 species: about a tenth of the total number of species in the world.
Cataloguing of these birds has made it possible to trace them back to their various original collections, highlighting the different intentions behind each individual set: the heterogeneity in the collection as a whole is therefore of great historical interest as it represents the different cultural approaches that have characterised ornithological research in Tuscany over the years.
