Until 10th January explanatory panels, period instruments, interactive equipment, animations, videos will immerse the visitor in the atmosphere of the early 20th century
The objective of this exhibition is to restore to the figure of Guglielmo Marconi that "nobility" that the very Nobel Prize - received at only 35 years old - attributed to him in 1909. As much admired and acclaimed in his lifetime as forgotten or, in any event, overlooked in the second half of the twentieth century, Marconi - brought back to public attention as of 1995 (the centenary of the wireless telegraphy) - is, in fact, climbing the steps of notoriety with the sole power of his invention: the wireless, in other words, the technology that most connotes, all over the world, the beginning of the Third Millennium.
The exhibition explores the conditions and the bases that allowed Marconi to make that unexpected leap in his venture, the technological and industrial developments brought about by his own research, the triumph of his wireless telegraphy system and the complex event that prompted the Swedish Academy to confer to him the Nobel Prize in Physics.
Explanatory panels, period instruments, interactive equipment, animations, videos and multimedia graphs immerse the visitor in the atmosphere of the early 20th century, and then make him reemerge in the early 21st century: today, here, on this planet Earth, where Marconi's intuitions make up the fundamental structure of communications today.
An exhibition that highlights the mechanisms, the gears, the relationships and emotions of a genius projected in the future: Guglielmo Marconi, the father of wireless.
