Abstract
In 2024, the 150th anniversary of the birth of Guglielmo Marconi (1874-1937) prompted a necessary reflection on the Italian cultural heritage related to this inventor, entrepreneur, and scientist. Drawing on the history and collections of the Museo Nazionale Scienza e Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci di Milano (MUST for brevity), this volume brings together the results of this collective effort. Marconi’s biography and the history of his contribution to the development of wireless telecommunications have been explored in detail through countless analysis and accounts, featured in books, magazines, television programmes, documentaries, and exhibitions.
