 Count **Alessandro Giuseppe Antonio Anastasio Volta** (18 February 1745 – 5 March 1827) was an Italian physicist known especially for the development of the first electric cell in 1800.  His young childhood did not show the makings of a prodigy. It was not until the age of four that he talked, and his family was convinced that he was retarded. However, at the age of seven when his father died, he was at the level of other children and then began to march ahead. By the age of fourteen, he made up his mind to be a physicist.  Volta became fascinated with the phenomenon of the age, electricity. In 1774, he was appointed professor of physics in the Como high school and the next year he invented electrophorous, a charge- accumulating machine.

Volta's fame spread as result. In 1778, Volta was the first to isolate the compound methane, a major constituent of natural gas.
