History tells us that the first flight found a ball balloon capable of carrying people on board took place Oct. 19, 1783 in Paris, France. That used hot air balloon to float in the air and was created in Annonay by Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Etienne Montgolfier (hence the name balloon). On that occasion, the ball was “bound” to the ground and carried on board the scientist Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Pil\u00e2tre de Rozier, Jean-Baptiste R\u00e9veillon and Giroud de Villette. First Flight “free” took place about a month later, November 21, 1783.<\/p>\n
Aviation pioneer aerostatico in Italy was, however, Count Paolo Andreani, a descendant of the noble Milanese family Sormani-Andreani. Impressed by the brothers Montgolfier, the count decided to replicate it in the garden of his villa in the countryside of Brugherio Moncucco, architects Gerli by commissioning the construction of a hot air balloon. The March 13, 1784 Paolo Andreani, together with Giuseppe Rossi and Gaetano Barzago, two workers who had participated in the creation of the balloon, flew for nearly half an hour, covering six miles and reaching a height of about 1,500 meters before landing near Caponago.<\/p>\n
