Radio e cultura di Marca
|
For over thirty years a series of events organised by A.R.T. (Associazione Radiantistica Trevigiana) have involved over a fourth of the communities in the Province of Treviso as well as other areas of the Triveneto, Emilia Romagna and Tuscany. RADIO E CULTURA DI MARCA (The Top of Radio and Culture) is involved in communicating and conveying the history and fascination of the discoveries pertaining to the wireless world and to its inventor Guglielmo Marconi.
This year Galileo Galilei has also been celebrated, 400 years since the first telescope was used to observe the universe just a few kilometres from the event location, and precisely in Padua. Since its beginning, the winning card of these events has been their alliance with volunteers and their focus on solidarity. All the streets, squares and towns where the events take place, have become over the years, and continue to be, the perfect sites to promote the beauties and products of the Trevigian territory.

Victory Cup
|
October 31st 2009 VICTORY CUP - GRAN PREMIO DELLA VITTORIA On the centenary celebrations for the Physics Nobel Prize award to Guglielmo Marconi horse racing has decided to pay its tribute to the scientist. This year the famous Victory Cup (Gran Premio della Vittoria), an important trotting race, was in fact dedicated to the illustrious Bolognese citizen. One of the races was named after the town of Sasso Marconi. The winner Nerviano, a racehorse owned by Borsari stable, was awarded by mayor Stefano Mazzetti a marconian silver medal offered by the G. Marconi Philatelic Club. Sasso Marconi Town Hall organised a buffet of local delicatessen (wine, olive oil and elderberry syrup) which was served near the course. Information flyers on Sasso Marconi events were distributed at the venue. |

A History of Telecommunications
|
October 23rd, 2009 A HISTORY OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS The Commission for the History of Engineering within the Deans Conference has decided to launch a series of workshops on the history of engineering, in order to produce a complete work on the history of technology in Italy.
The second workshop of such series, on the History of Telecommunications, was held in Bologna. The speakers, mainly engineers and historians, came from Italian universities and industries. The different aspects of the History of Telecommunications in the last two centuries was taken into consideration: history of the ideas, birth and growth of the telecommunication industry, impact on university, economic and social aspects. A particular focus was given to the Marconi (1909-2009) and Meucci (1808-2008) celebrations.

From Galileo to Poldhu and Beyond
|
October 19th-20th, 2009 On the occasion of the IX edition of the “Italian Language in the World Week”, the Italian Cultural Institute, in collaboration with the University of Western Ontario has presented the conference FROM GALILEO TO POLDHU AND BEYOND
Science of the universe on the centenary of Guglielmo Marconi’s Nobel Prize award
by Prof. Francesco Paresce (National Institute of Astrophysics - Bologna)
Monday October 19th at the Italian Cultural Institute - Toronto
Tuesday October 20th at the University of Western Ontario - London, Ontario
The first space physics experiment by means of radio waves was carried out by Guglielmo Marconi in December 1901 by sending a radio signal from Poldhu in Cornwall, England, that was received across the Atlantic Ocean in St. Johns, Newfoundland. This experiment, deemed impossible by experts of the time, launched the telecommunications industry and proved the existence of the earth’s ionosphere in one fell swoop. Spectacular progress since then in the cost and efficiency of wireless communication has allowed us today to communicate through satellites and space probes all the way to the edge of the solar system and to receive a large amount of extremely significant scientific information about the universe around us.
In his talk, Paresce has briefly summarized the development of research in this area from the first experiments by Marconi for which he was awarded the physics Nobel Prize in 1909 to the fascinating discoveries of modern space science obtained by space probes and satellites like the Hubble Space Telescope.
All this, Paresce has remembered, was made possible by the strong intuition and tenacity of a man determined to communicate without wires throughout space in the best Galilean tradition of continuous attempts (provando e riprovando).
