The results of an experiment searching for the difference Δg in the free-fall acceleration of aluminum and copper, in vacuum, obtained on the Earth in a differential Galileo type measurement are reported. Within the sensitivity of the measurement, Δg/g=7.2×10-10; no g universality violation has been observed.
