Guglielmo Marconi was born at Bologna, Italy, on April 25, 1874. It is there that his education and interest in science had led him to send the first wireless signal across the Atlantic in 1902 from St. Johns, NF to Poldhu, in Cornwall, England and to the Nobel Prize for physics."

Marconi was consumed by the idea of being able to send wireless signals over vast distances. Not an easy thing to do since it hadn't been done before, but he was convinced this could be done. Well perhaps it would be best if Marconi told you the story of his life himself.
