Alessandro Volta was born in Como on the 28th February 1745, into a noble family.

He was made a
professor of physics at the University of Pavia in 1779. In 1775 Volta devised the electrophorus, a device
that, once electrically charged by friction, could transfer charge to other objects. In the last year of 1700 he
began to study Galvani's theories. He repeated his experiments many times with many different materials.
From these experiments he came to the conclusion that it was the two dissimilar metals, not the frog’s leg
that produced the electricity. The frog’s leg was just an indicator of presence of the electricity.To show
conclusively that the generation of an electric current did not require any animal parts, Volta put
together ,alternating, zinc and copper discs, separated by leather discs soaked in brine. When a wire was
connected to both ends of the pile, flowed a steady current. Volta soon traveled to Paris and demonstrated
his invention, and Napoleone making him a count in 1810. He died in 1827
