Statue of Marconi
Marconi statue. Bust of Guglielmo Marconi (1874- 1937), Italian physicist, located at Villa Griffone near Bologna, Italy. It was at this villa that Marconi was born and where he transmitted the first wireless signal in spring 1895. He was aged 21 and he had developed his first radio equipment, with a range of 1.5 kilometres. When the British government became interested in radio, in 1899, Marconi made a transmission across the English Channel. Two years later, Marconi made his first trans-Atlantic transmission, and in 1909 he won the Nobel Prize for Physics. He founded the Marconi Company (now GEC-Marconi). Marconis body lies in a tomb in the grounds of the villa

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent statue of Guglielmo Marconi, an iconic figure in the world of science and technology. The bust of this brilliant Italian physicist is located at Villa Griffone near Bologna, Italy - the very place where Marconi was born and accomplished his groundbreaking achievements. It was within these walls that he transmitted the first wireless signal in spring 1895 at just 21 years old, using his innovative radio equipment with a range of 1.5 kilometers. Marconi's contributions to radio telegraphy were truly remarkable. In 1899, when the British government expressed interest in radio technology, he successfully made a historic transmission across the English Channel. Two years later, Marconi achieved another milestone by making his first trans-Atlantic transmission. These accomplishments ultimately led him to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1909. The statue serves as a tribute to this extraordinary inventor and recipient of one of science's highest honors. As you gaze upon it, you can't help but feel inspired by Marconi's ingenuity and determination that revolutionized global communication forever. It is worth noting that Marconi's final resting place lies within the grounds of Villa Griffone; his tomb stands as a testament to his enduring legacy. This print captures not only an exquisite sculpture but also commemorates an individual who shaped our modern world through his pioneering work in physics and telecommunications.
