The latest electromagnetic field prediction models in various propagation environments (urban, rural, indoor) are implemented in a set of software programs: the Italian national model (‘Modello Nazionale’) for long-distance propagation, 3-dimensional Ray-tracing for indoor coverage prediction and 2-dimensional Ray-tracing combined with the roof-top propagation model for urban environment prediction. These programs are constantly updated, extended and adapted to specific applications. In particular, developments are currently in progress concerning ray-tracing modules, advanced statistical models and scattering models. Developments of the Italian national model (‘Modello Nazionale’) so it can be extended to the third generation system, UMTS, are also presently being defined. Also the problems linked to data acquisition and relative processing for optimising use of prediction software are of great importance.

The Guglielmo Marconi Foundation promotes and participates in the formation of national and international awards, to perpetuate the memory and knowledge of the great scientist, and support research and innovation in the field of radio communications.
I thank Mr. Hildebrand for the very kind but too flattering remarks that he has made of myself and of my work in Wireless Telegraphy.
I believe that one perhaps of the least thought of advantages enjoyed by the winner of the Nobel Prize is that he is asked to visit Sweden and thereby given an opportunity of appreciating the illustrious count of Linné, Schéele, Berzelius, and Arrhenius.
Thanks to the high standing which science has for so long attain and to the impartiality of the Nobel Prize Committee, the Nobel Prize for Physics is rightly considered everywhere as the highest reward within the reach of workers in that branch of Natural Philosophy.
[from the Guglielmo Marconi's speech at the Nobel Banquet in Stockholm, December 10, 1909]

The International Prize for Painting, Sculpture and Electronic Art “Guglielmo Marconi” was instituted in 1988 by the Guglielmo Marconi Foundation, the Circolo Artistico of Bologna and the University of Bologna. The Prize is assigned each year on April 25th, in conjunction with the Marconi Day that is celebrated in the historical Villa Giffone in Pontecchio Marconi, in the presence of renowned personalities from the telecommunication, scientific and artistic sectors. The Prize was awarded in the first editions by the Marquise Maria Cristina Marconi, widow of the illustrious Scientist and, successively by the daughter, the Princess Elettra Marconi.
The Prize has been assigned to:
