Giovanni Aldini, a pioneer in the field of electricity, traveled to the heart of the Industrial Revolution in 1818-1819. He was captivated by the technological advancements he witnessed, particularly the steam engine. Upon his return to Italy, he commissioned a model of this groundbreaking invention from Milanese technician Carlo Grindel. This meticulously crafted model, featuring a metal cylinder encased in wood and a separate condenser, provides a clear understanding of the steam engine's operation.
