What did Volta think about Galvani?

Alessandro Volta respected Luigi Galvani's work but disagreed with his interpretations of animal electricity. While Galvani believed that the phenomenon he observed in frog legs was due to a form of "animal electricity," Volta proposed that the effects were due to contact electricity generated by the metals used in Galvani's experiments. This disagreement ultimately led Volta to develop his own theories and inventions, including the voltaic pile, which laid the groundwork for modern electrochemistry.
