Abstract
Como means much to science. Como means 1977 and 1983. Then Giulio Casati and Joseph Ford brought together distinguished colleagues to lay out the streets of a rapidly growing district of physics and help prepare it to be a new city of its own. Como means 1800. Then Alessandro Volta gave us the pile. He shocked us into a new world of electricity. But Como also means 1927.
