Galvanism is a term invented by the late 18th-century physicist and chemist Alessandro Volta to refer to the generation of electric current by chemical action. The term also came to refer to the discoveries of its namesake, Luigi Galvani, specifically the generation of electric current within biological organisms and the contraction/convulsion of biological muscle tissue upon contact with electric current. While Volta theorized and later demonstrated the phenomenon of his "Galvanism" to be replicable with otherwise inert materials, Galvani thought his discovery to be a confirmation of the existence of "animal electricity," a vital force which gave life to organic matter.
Luigi Galvani was an Italian physician, physicist, biologist and philosopher, who studied animal electricity. In 1780, using a frog, he discovered that the muscles of dead frogs' legs twitched when struck by an electrical spark. This was an early study of bioelectricity, following experiments by John Walsh and Hugh Williamson.
Luigi Cervi, better known as Gino Cervi, was an Italian actor. He was best known for portraying Peppone in a series of comedies based on the character Don Camillo (1952–1965), and police detective Jules Maigret on the television series Le inchieste del commissario Maigret (1964–1972).

Defending champion Rafael Nadal defeated Tommy Robredo in the final, 6–4, 6–4, 6–0 to win the singles title at the 2006 Barcelona Open. With the win, Nadal achieved 47 consecutive matches won on clay, surpassing the previous record made by Björn Borg.
In electrochemistry, the Galvani potential is the electric potential difference between two points in the bulk of two phases. These phases can be two different solids, or a solid and a liquid.
Quantum capacitance, also known as chemical capacitance and electrochemical capacitance, was first theoretically introduced by Serge Luryi (1988), and is defined as the variation of electrical charge with respect to the variation of electrochemical potential , i.e., . In the simplest example, if you make a parallel-plate capacitor where one or both of the plates has a low density of states, then the capacitance is not given by the normal formula for parallel-plate capacitors, . Instead, the capacitance is lower, as if there was another capacitor in series, . This second capacitance, related to the density of states of the plates, is the quantum capacitance and is represented by . The equivalent capacitance is called electrochemical capacitance .
Dino Galvani was an Italian-British actor, who made his career in Britain on stage and radio and in films. He is remembered for his role in the popular BBC radio comedy series ITMA from 1941 to 1945. He was frequently seen on the West End stage, broadcast on radio and, later, television from 1927 to 1959, and made more than thirty films.
