Leta 1737 se je v Bologni rodil italijanski zdravnik, fizik in anatom Luigi Galvani. Leta 1780 je opazil, da elektrika vpliva na žabje krake. Pojav krčenja mišic je pripisoval obliki živalske elektrike. Nekaj let kasneje mu je Volta dokazal, da je pojav vezan le na stik krakov z dvema različnima kovinama.
