As many as thirty intellectuals from Croatia were members of the famous Accademia dell’Arcadia (Academy of Arcadia) in Rome, founded in 1690 as the literary and scientific circle around the Swedish queen Cristine (in 1925 it assumed the sub-title Accademia Letteraria Italiana). The members obtain the special names inside the Accademia (Inter Arcades). Some of outstanding Croatian members of Arcadia were

• Ivan Pastric (Inter Arcades Ergino Parorio), member of Arcadia only six months after its founding
• Gjuro Baglivi (Inter Arcades Epiduaro Porgense)
• Rugjer Boskovic (Inter Arcades Namenio Anigreo)
• Rajmund Kunic (Inter Arcades Peredao Megaride)
• Adam Aleksandar Patacic (Inter Arcades Sirasio Acrotophorio), member of the Arcadia with only 23 years
• Benedikt Stay-Stojkovic (Inter Arcades Areta Epidaurense)

Important Croatian humanist in France was Mirko Drazen Grmek (1924-2000), historian of biomedical sciences.
