An important contribute to the seismology as an instrumental science. “In 1888 Giovanni Egidi […] installed the first of these instruments in a Jesuite observatory, the Osservatorio Tusculano in Frascati, which became one of the earliest Italian stations. Egidi himself constructed this instrument, a ’seismiscope’, still lacking a graphic recorder” (A. Udías, Jesuit Contribution to Science, pp. 177-178).
