History tells us that the first flight of a balloon balloon proven capable of transporting people on board took place October 19, 1783 in Paris, France. That was using hot air balloon to float in the air and was created to Annonay by Joseph-Michel and Jacques-\u00c9tienne Montgolfier (hence the name hot air balloon). On that occasion the ball was “bound” to the ground and carried on board the scientist Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Pilatre de Rozier, Jean-Baptiste Reveillon and Giroud de Villette. The first flight of the “free” happened about a month later, on November 21 1783.<\/p>\n
A pioneer of aerostatic flight to Italy was, however, the Count Paolo Andreani, a descendant of the noble Milanese family-Sormani Andreani. Impressed by the Montgolfier brothers, the Count decided to replicate it in the garden of his villa in the countryside Moncucco Brugherio, commissioning architects Gerli the construction of a hot air balloon. On March 13, 1784 Paolo Andreani, in the company of Giuseppe Rossi and Gaetano Barzago, two workers who had participated in the creation of the ball, flew for almost half an hour, covering six miles and reaching a height of about 1,500 meters before landing near Hoofddorp.<\/p>\n
