Luigi Galvani, Italian anatomist
Luigi Galvani (1737-1798). Statue of the Italian anatomist, who noticed that dead frogs twitched when included in a circuit with metals. This led him to propose that a new form of electricity (" animal electricity" ) was responsible. He believed, however, that this was generated by the nerve and muscle tissue in the dead frog. This was later shown to be false by Volta in 1800, who showed that the current was generated by the metals. The galvanometer, used to detect electric current, is named after Galvani, as is the process of galvanisation.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the statue of Luigi Galvani, an esteemed Italian anatomist whose groundbreaking discoveries revolutionized our understanding of electricity. Luigi Galvani (1737-1798) made a remarkable observation that when dead frogs were included in a circuit with metals, they exhibited twitching movements. This led him to propose the existence of a new form of electricity known as "animal electricity" which he believed originated from the nerve and muscle tissue within the deceased frog. However, it was later proven by Volta in 1800 that this current was actually generated by the metals themselves, debunking Galvani's initial hypothesis. Nevertheless, Galvani's contributions were not in vain as his name lives on through various scientific terms associated with electrical currents. The galvanometer, an instrument used for detecting electric current, is named after him. Additionally, the process of galvanization also bears his surname. This magnificent stone statue serves as a tribute to Luigi Galvani's immense impact on both anatomy and physiology. It stands tall and proud in Italy, reminding us of his significant role in unraveling the mysteries surrounding neurology and the nervous system. As we gaze upon this historical monument captured beautifully in vertical composition, we are transported back to a time when one man's curiosity sparked revolutionary ideas that shaped our understanding of electricity forever.
