took out useless line about smoking, no proof, not to mention this has little to do with avogadro and his life----yo mama!
Why all the Italian, and no translations? It's frustrating when doing research.
if you look harder it has the translation on the page

[edit] Head shape??
The shape of his head and eyes reminds me of brian peppers, any link to that, in terms of an illness?
- I don't know who that is, but Avogadro's got Bette Davis eyes by the look of it. (Or Bette Davis has Avogadro eyes as he's first)--T. Anthony 02:18, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
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
[edit] why?
why and how excactly did avogadro invent this unit?
- If you are talking about the mole, Avogadro himself didn't have a great deal to do with it, though his work certainly is closely related. It was Johann Josef Loschmidt who discovered the value of the Avogadro constant. The mole itself isn't really much of a unit, it's just a way of saying 'number of atoms' but using a large number for practical reasons, and using molecular weights and grams as a convenient standard so that no conversions are needed.
