Historical background


GAZ (LIGHTING...)

Natural gas had been known since antiquity, particularly in Persia, but it was not until the end of the 18th century that the idea of gas lighting appeared. The process did not spread until the first half of the 19th century, particularly from 1820. The gas used was obtained by distillation of coal and was used to light the streets and then the dwellings. It was later used as heating but disappeared for lighting due to the spread of electric lighting from 1880..
