Scienze Matematiche, Fisiche, Naturali Università di Pavia Facoltà di Dipartimento di Fisica “A. Volta” In 1799 Alessandro Volta invented the battery. He was then 54 years old and one of Europe’s most famous physicists. Since 1778 he had been Regius Professor of Experimental Physics at the Pavia University and been running the Physics Laboratory, which has been recently reconstructed. Not only is our Department named after him... but also the unit of measure of potential, which Volta called "tension", is named the "volt".
