The last of this generation of scholars outlived Cosimo (d. 1574) by a few years. A survey of the intellectual community of those years and beyond shows continuity and gradual change. New academies appear,includingthe Alterati and the Accademia della Crusca, which were also devoted to vernacular language and letters. The study of vernacular began to appear at universities, first Siena and then Pisa, as did some lectures in vernacular. The legacy of this generation extended to the successful construction of the narrative of the Renaissance itself.
