    Hiking

    Alessandro Giuseppe Antonio Anastasio Volta, Count of Volta from 1810, was a physicist. He is considered the inventor of the electric battery and one of the founders of electricity theory.
    He was born here in Como and the electrical voltage = volt is named after him.

    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.
