Intended for young readers interested in the history and culture of the Italian Renaissance and in medieval daily life.
Giovanni Caselli was an Italian priest, inventor, and physicist. He studied electricity and magnetism as a child which led to his invention of the pantelegraph, the forerunner of the fax machine.
