History
Founded in Vienna in 1952 by the Austrian engineer and private scholar {{interlanguage link|Robert Haardt|de}} (1884–1962), the Society's name is an hommage to Franciscan friar, cosmographer, cartographer, and publisher Vincenzo Coronelli (1650–1718). As of 2023, the Society counts around 300 members from academic institutions around the world.[https://uia.org/s/or/en/1100035892 Description of the Society] at the Union of International Associations.
The eponymous Coronelli was not only a renowned producer of large-scale globe pairs, but also the founder of the first geographical society in the world, the Venetian Accademia Cosmografica degli Argonauti.See [https://books.google.com/books?id=wirb1uoy4f4C the original 17th-century Catalogo] of the Accademia.
