Title
Viaggi alle Due Sicilie e in alcune parti dell’Appennino
Description
Lazzaro Spallanzani (1729-1799) was a priest, biologist, and physiologist who conducted numerous studies on animal reproduction and bodily functions, including spontaneous cellular regeneration and echolocation, and performed some of the first experiments on artificial insemination. Spallanzani visited Vesuvius in Campania as well as other volcanoes on the island of Sicily in 1788. He published his findings in the six-volume Viaggi alle Due Sicilie in 1792, laying the foundations for the study of volcanology and meteorology. The engraving depicts several scientists peering into a crater at the summit of Mount Etna, which had erupted spectacularly the year before.
