	Giovanni Battista Beccaria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Giovanni Battista Beccaria (October 3, 1716 – May 27, 1781), Italian physicist, was born at Mondovi, and entered the religious order of the Pious Schools in 1732.
		He became professor of experimental physics, first at Palermo and then at Rome, and was appointed to a similar situation at Turin in 1748.
		Beccaria did much, in the way both of experiment and exposition, to spread a knowledge of the electrical researches of Franklin and others.

	Giovanni Battista Beccaria
		Beccaria confirmed the observation of Andrew Gordon that water evaporates more rapidly when electrified; also the conclusion of Abbés Nollet and Menon that animals (cats, pigeons, chaffinches) lose weight when subjected to prolonged electrification, the loss being ascribed to increased "transpiration" under electrical stimulus.
		Beccaria adopted the two-fluid theory of Franklin as well as the views of the American philosopher on the preventive and protective functions of lightning conductors.
		In 1755 Beccaria was elected Fellow of the Royal Society, and in 1766 he contributed a paper to the "Philosophical Transactions", in which he describes (in Latin) five of the more important of his experimental researches.

		Francesco Beccaria (Mondoví 1716 – Turin 1781) took the name Giovan Battista when he was admitted in the religious order of the Piarists, in whose schools throughout Italy he taught until he became the incumbent of the chair of physics at the University of Turin in 1748.
		Beccaria pursued these experiments with all his skill, inventiveness, and energy, largely because they seemed to favor the anti-Franklinian double-fluid theory.
		Beccaria, who would not admit action-at-distance, supplied this deficiency with a complicated scheme of electrical athmospheres and “vindicating” or regenerating, electricity.

		Gli strumenti da lui utilizzati costituirono il nucleo della Specola che fu costruita sul Palazzo dell'Accademia delle Scienze nel 1790 ed in seguito trasferita su Palazzo Madama nel 1822 sotto la direzione di Giovanni Plana, quando un Regio Decreto di Vittorio Emanuele II la trasformò in Regio Osservatorio Astronomico.
