Inventors
Guglielmo Marconi
Born in Bologna in 1874, Guglielmo Marconi turned Heinrich Hertz's electromagnetic wave theory into a practical wireless communication system. His 1901 transatlantic transmission proved radio signals could follow the Earth's curvature, earning him the 1909 Nobel Prize in Physics. As founder of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company, he built the infrastructure that made global wireless communication a reality.
