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.

There’s a restorant that has really good pasta.

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.

Very nice open area with lovely statue of Alessandro! Many restaurants, bars and cafes to take a break and enjoy some refreshment

Great little piazza / square especially lively at night with several bars and restaurants to choose from

Nice statue of Alessandro Volta in the historic town center of Como, Italy

The memorial to the inventor of the voltaic pile/ call/ battery. Also a great place to be and enjoy the atmosphere.

Como - one wonderful town.

Just walked past,didn't really take notice

Historical place ...must see before dyeing

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).

It is iconic. Traditional Italian piazza, lots ofnice restourants around.

This beautiful statue stands in the center of a very quaint piazza just around the corner from the duomo in Como. It is a great historical stop one your way to see the cathedral or take a ride on the funiculare to Brunate.

Nice place, very cozy and there are a lot of coffee shops and restaurants

Only one floor open but it is full of interesting objects.

Nice walk nice view

ome of the greatest in history!
