Alessandro Giuseppe Antonio Anastasio Volta (18 February 1745 – 5 March 1827) was an esteemed Italian physicist and chemist. His pioneering work in electricity and power led to his recognition as the inventor of the electric battery. In honor of Volta's contributions, the magnificent marble statue of Como was unveiled in 1838. Created by Pompeo Marchesi, a renowned sculptor of the era, the statue stands tall as a testament to Volta's legacy. The imposing base, crafted by Francesco Durelli, supports the statue and bears a simple yet heartfelt dedication: "A Volta – La Patria" (To Volta – The Homeland).

This is a pretty statue - but what’s really impressive is the piazza it’s located on. The whole square murmured with locals enjoying an aperitivo in any of the multiple outdoor seated restaurants. Another must visit in Como! Although I wish there was a bit more information on what the statue is actually about.

This statue of Alessandro Volta stands in the town square named Piazza Alessandro Volta. The piazza is near the center of town with seating and many places to get something to eat or drink nearby. We picked up some local pizza and sat in the square to eat amd enjoy the views of the lake and mountains.

Can't really say a lot here. It's a statue of the man that discovered power volts. Situated in a nice square with some restaurants and bars. Nice place to relax and ponder over life.

A nice statue do not come here just for the statue but if you are in square then it is worth a look. There is lots of restaurants in the area where you can soak in the views.

Επιβλητικό άγαλμα στο κέντρο της πλατεία Alessandro Volta. Το άγαλμα κατασκευάστηκε στη μνήμη του και αποτελεί φόρο τιμής σε αυτόν τον πολίτη του Κόμο που ήταν ο πασίγνωστος φυσικός - εφευρέτης της ηλεκτρικής μπαταρίας που έζησε από το 1745-1827. Η πλατεία είναι στο κέντρο της πόλης και αποτελεί την πιο πολυσύχναστη και γνωστή του Κόμο. Στη γύρω περιοχή υπάρχουν πολλές καφετέριες, εστιατόρια και μπαρ για να διασκεδάσετε.
