The place of birth and death is mentioned as Turin, Italy, but I don't think there is a nation "Italy" at that time. I don't remember exactly but it should be either Duchy of Savoy or Kingdom of Sardinia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.237.152.127 (talk) 14:09, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
took out useless line about smoking, no proof, not to mention this has little to do with avogadro and his life----
Why all the Italian, and no translations? It's frustrating when doing research.
if you look harder it has the translation on the page
The shape of his head and eyes reminds me of brian peppers,im a bird
any link to that, in terms of an illness?
I have to admit his head does look a bit deformed, but any reference to Brian Peppers is off limits on wikipedia (Look for yourself). Anyway, the illness is termed Apert's Syndrome (http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=6574) although I would doubt that Avagadro had that, more likely just a portrait of less than handsome gentleman.

Maybe he had Craniosynostosis. It seems your head can be any shape or size with that and your hands and feet would still be unaffected. -Me412
Ya noobsauce it has translation on page!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.239.231.38 (talk) 16:14, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
This is a caricature, as you may confront at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ritratto_di_Amedeo_Avogadro,_1800-1850_-_Accademia_delle_Scienze_di_Torino_-_Ritratti_0087_B.jpg
why and how excactly did avogadro invent this unit?
did he win a nobel prize or any other award/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.185.98.196 (talk) 20:30, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
The text at 2pm EST 27 March 2008 contains the section:
"Only through studies by Charles Frédéric Gerhardt and Auguste Laurent on organic chemistry was it possible to demonstrate that Avogadro's law explained why the same quantities of molecules in a gas have the same volume."
I'm very keen to understand why equal volumes of gases (at the same physical conditions) contain equal numbers of molecules. The above suggests that an explanation exists, but the cited Wikipedia pages give no such explanation. Can any editors help?
BTW - I consider the physical facts that lead to Avogadro's hypothesis (ie that equal volumes of gases (at the same physical conditions) contain equal numbers of molecules) to be a remarkable physical circumstsnce - and one that led to the full development of modern chemistry - any views on that too? john courtneidge —Preceding comment was added at 18:12, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Encyclopedia Britannica has Avogadro graduating at the age of 16 and receiving his doctorate and starting to practice at the age of 20. Is there a source supporting the age stated in this Wikipedia article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fuzzy Bison (talk • contribs) 07:01, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
Some sources say he had six kids and some say seven. A Google search for "Amedeo Avogadro"+"six children" versus "Amedeo Avogadro"+"seven children" shows about a 600:300 ratio of results. It's unclear to me at the moment what is accurate. Jason Quinn (talk) 15:04, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
I found a source that lists eight children of Avogadro and his wife Felicita Mazzé with names and dates of birth and death.[1] I therefore suppose, this source is reliable, and I suggest to change the text accordingly. Chiesoo (talk) 15:06, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
