Montgolfier brothers
Andreani's wide range of interests started at an early age. At fifteen he was a member of the "Arcadia Literary Academy". His scientific interests prevailed when he began his balloon experiments based on the news of the flight of the Montgolfier Brothers. Andreani set out to repeat the feat in Italy at the Villa Sormani in Moncucco, a village which is now located in the municipality of Brugherio. The Montgolfier brothers' flight took place in France on 21 November 1783.
