About the Item

Torricellian barometer of oak wood, signed Negretti Zambra London from the second half of the 19th century, complete with reading vernier for checking the pressure variation and thermometer. Height 98 cm - 10.6 inches, width 27 cm - 38.5 inches, depth/thickness 5 cm - 1.96 inches. Very good condition, fully functional. For safety during transport the barometer will be shipped emptied of mercury. The mercury will be placed in a sealed container in the package together with the barometer. When it was discovered, that changes of atmospheric pressure are connected to changes of weather, barometers became very popular. Evangelista Torricelli (1608-1647), mathematician and physicist, Galileo’s disciple, was the fist one in 1643 to make an instrument for measure changes of air pressure. Man, as farmer or navigator, has always observed and tried to forecast the changes of weather. Scientific studies about these changes began in the middle ofXVII century, following experiments about the existence of empty, that antique philosophers denied because “nature hates empty!”.
