About the Item

Measurements 25.5x5x97 cm - inches 9.8x2x38.2 Engraved silver-plated brass dial with weather indications in Italian and double hand, the first directly connected to the barometric tube indicates atmospheric pressure trends, the second, operated directly via an adjusting screw acts as a reading nonius for checking the change in atmospheric pressure over time. Good condition, fully functional. Height 96 cm width 25.5 cm depth/thickness 7 cm. For safety during transport, the barometer will be shipped emptied of mercury. The mercury will be placed in a sealed container in the package along with the barometer. Evangelista Torricelli (1608-1647), mathematician and physicist, a disciple of Galileo, was the first in 1643 to build a measuring instrument capable of detecting changes in air pressure. Since ancient times man, as a farmer and navigator, has observed and attempted to predict weather patterns. The scientific study of the changes occurring in the atmosphere began in the mid-17th century in connection with experiments tending to prove the existence of a vacuum, which ancient philosophers denied since "nature abhors a vacuum!"
