In the center of this square he is Alessandro Volta, looking intently at the crowd. Without him, there would be no such thing as a battery today. Alessandro Volta was an Italian genius of the 18th century, one of the greatest scientists of all time, and his native city of Como has never stopped honoring him with spaces and monuments.
