Evangelista Torricelli (1608–1647) was an Italian physicist and mathematician, best known for his work in fluid dynamics and for his invention of the barometer. He is often credited with the discovery of the principle of atmospheric pressure. One of his significant contributions to science is the Torricelli’s law, which describes the speed of fluid flowing out of an orifice under the influence of gravity.
