The Accademia degli Arcadi counted among its members some of the principal literary men and women of the time, including [[Carlo d'Aquino]], [[Carlo Alessandro Guidi]], [[Petronilla Paolini Massimi]], [[Benedetto Menzini]], librettist [[Pietro Metastasio]], [[Francesco Redi]] [[Paolo Rolli]], and linguist [[Clotilde Tambroni]], among others. The famous composer [[George Frideric Handel]] is known to have often attended the meetings and symposia of the Arcadians when studying in Italy, under the patronage of Ruspoli, a leading member of the Academy. There is an interesting account of the Academy's history and program in Goethe's '[[Italian Journey]]'.
The archives of the academy are currently housed in the [[Angelica Library|Biblioteca Angelica]], next to the church of [[Basilica of Sant'Agostino|Sant'Agostino]] in [[Rome]]. The paintings are housed in the [[Palazzo Braschi]].
