Marconi birthplace and tomb
Marconis birthplace and tomb. Villa Griffone at Pontecchio near Bologna, Italy, the birthplace of Guglielmo Marconi (1874-1937), Italian physicist. The tomb where Marconis body lies can be seen below the villa. It was at this villa that Marconi transmitted the first wireless signal in spring 1895. He was aged 21 and had developed his first radio equipment, with a range of 1.5 kilometres. In 1899, he made a transmission across the English Channel. Two years later, Marconi made his first trans-Atlantic transmission. In 1909, he won the Nobel Prize for Physics. He founded the Marconi Company (now GEC-Marconi)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the birthplace and final resting place of one of Italy's greatest inventors, Guglielmo Marconi. Located in Pontecchio near Bologna, Italy, Villa Griffone holds immense historical significance as it was here that Marconi transmitted his groundbreaking first wireless signal in 1895 at just 21 years old. The villa also houses the tomb where Marconi's body rests, serving as a solemn reminder of his remarkable contributions to science. Marconi's genius extended far beyond this humble birthplace. In 1899, he achieved an extraordinary feat by successfully transmitting a signal across the English Channel. Two years later, he made history once again with his pioneering trans-Atlantic transmission. These monumental achievements solidified Marconi's reputation as a trailblazer in the field of radio telegraphy. In recognition of his exceptional accomplishments, Guglielmo Marconi was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1909. His legacy lives on through his namesake company, now known as GEC-Marconi. This poignant image not only captures the serene beauty of Villa Griffone but also serves as a testament to the brilliance and indomitable spirit of an Italian inventor who forever changed our world through his revolutionary advancements in communication technology.
