Marconi Museum (150th anniversary of his birth), Sasso Marconi, Bologna, Italy, Europe

The Marconi Museum, dedicated to the birth and development of radio communications, is located at Villa Griffone in Pontecchio Marconi, the country residence of Guglielmo Marconi’s family. Precisely in these environments - which are preserved intact in the structure - the young inventor carried out his first decisive experiments in radiotelegraphy in the two-year period 1894-1895. The Museum houses accurate working reproductions of some scientific devices from the late nineteenth century, a certain number of modern interactive devices as well as a series of educational tools that introduce the history of electricity and that of radio. A few years after the death of the inventor, the Mausoleum was built at the foot of the Villa, which houses the remains of Guglielmo Marconi and his second wife, Maria Cristina Bezzi Scali.
