Alessandro Volta and Luigi Galvani

The story of electricity

Electricity, such a common element in the
present of today. But the truth lies with the story
of its origin, which poses a question: How did
electricity come about?
It all began with these two people that can never
be thanked enough for starting the invention of
electricity there names are Alessandro Volta and
Luigi Galvani.
Galvani was also an Italian physician, biologist,
philosopher and physicist who was born in
bologna papal states and he is a pioneer of
bioectromagnetics. He was doing some
experiment of a frog and noticed that when the
frog was hit by an electric spark the frogs legs
twitched.
Alessandro Volta was an Italian chemist and
physicist is also a pioneer of electricity who was
born in Milan. This man was a count and lived
with lost of possessions as he was rich Volta was
the inventor of the battery. With his work
napoleon Bonaparte was very interested and
invited him to the institute of France to show the
students and teachers of the institute. He was in
the middle of an experiment and during this
experiment and he created the battery.
The scientist received lots or recognition for
example Alessandro Volta was recognised by
napoleon Bonaparte. Luigi Galvani has many

landmarks that are located in bologna Italy such

as the Galvanis monument, Liceo Ginnasio
Luigi Galvani and Galvanis home
This expansion of science opened up new carers
and things so study that would change their lives
forever scientifically and technologically.
