What you see is the work table Alessandro Volta on which are set out his personal inventions, such as electrophorus, the gun-electric flogopneumatica, the eudiometer, the condenser, 'electroscope condenser, a straw and elettrometo cells (data from the brochure of the museum's history). That was his lab table, near which there is also his desk chair and his staff .

Now it is extremely neat, but it is not difficult to imagine it full of papers, notes , books and whatever else might be useful to the discussion of Professor Volta. (In the pictures on the sides, some manuscripts published on its website Department of Physics, but kept at the 'Istituto Lombardo Academy of Sciences and Letters of Milan ) 
I wonder what impression had its Students of him? Maybe some
considered him a god, others a mad scientist, a wizard ... and others it was their apprentices.
