On 05 March 1827, the physicist and experimental chemist Alessandro Volta died in Como (Italy). He elaborated the concept of voltage and electric potential and developed the electrophorus and the battery. Volta also examined the thermology and physics of gaseous states. A man of deep faith, he prayed each day and attended daily Mass. During the years in which he taught at the High School in Como, he was a catechist in the parish of Saint Donnino where to this day a memorial plaque attests that “teaching the catechism here made way for the miracle of the battery.”
