Other than that, there was little else to see. Over time, inventors discovered that us- ing different chemical compounds with greater amounts of oxygen made the explosives burn brighter and longer, creating the special color- effects everyone enjoys nowadays. The multi-colored, multi-layered displays began in the 1830s. Italians added trace amounts of metals that burn at higher tem- peratures, thus creating beautiful colors. Many different additives also enhanced interesting effects. Calcium deepens colors, titanium cre- ates the sparks, and zinc is responsible for the humongous smoke clouds. Other ingredients include strontium-salts, which give off the bright red glow and copper which creates their blueness. Aluminum and magnesium brought together during explosion enhances their golden hue. With today’s tradition of pyrotech- nics, many community displays can be seen for miles and miles. Northeastern Ohio follows in the country’s tradition. Towns all over the area will be host- ing fi reworks and pyrotechnic displays that the ancient Chinese and Italians would envy.
