Abstract
HOW enthusiastically the late King of Italy could devote himself to the welfare of science and art, those of us who were at Como last September had an opportunity of seeing. One very hot day he arrived with the Queen and the Duke of Naples by train from their palace at Monza, near Milan. First they made an official inspection of the galleries and machinery in the Silk and Electricity Exhibition, then they visited the Exhibition of Sacred Art, and, after lunch, they opened the Electrical Congress, held to celebrate the Volta centenary.
