Marconi´s Early Experiments in Wireless Telegraphy, 1895

The importance of the experiments realized by Guglielmo Marconi on the premises of Villa Griffone were probably already universally considered a fundamental step for understanding propagation in real environment, a key point in successful operation of a radio system. Thousands of visitors at the Villa and at the Marconi Museum are evidence of that. However, this official recognition by the IEEE that these experiments marked the beginning of the new era of wireless communication is the proper seal for the adventure of the Marconi genius, started in Italy and continued all over the world for more than forty years.
