Guglielmo Marconi, an electrical engineer born in Bologna, Italy, invented the device that transmitted the first radio signal at the end of the 19th century, forever changing the history of telecommunications.
After receiving private lessons from his parents at home, Marconi began attending school at age 12.
During his college years in Bologna, he met Professor Augusto Righi, a renowned physicist who made outstanding contributions to the study of electromagnetism and who piqued his interest in the field.
