The Guglielmo Marconi Foundation, for the purpose of scientific cataloguing, intends to conduct a census of the radio apparatuses fabricated by Marconi Companies still in existence today and found in museums or in Italian collections. The Foundation kindly asks for the collaboration of all owners and guarantees – to whoever requests it – the privacy of all personal data. The objective is to delineate a map that shows the current number of such apparatuses in Italy, including those that have been produced by satellite Companies or by Marconi Companies abroad. Once complete, the map will be published online and updated periodically (always respecting any requests of privacy). The next step will be a publication on the topic, while, in prospect, the Foundation is considering the possibility of organizing an exhibition. It is important to underline that the census does not have a commercial scope and that the data registered will be used exclusively to enrich the historical-scientific heritage relative to Guglielmo Marconi. By compiling the form, Marconi radio owners will become part of that “infinite” research that Marconi himself practiced with incomparable tenacity and efficacy. |

Marconi was the creator of the present day civilization of the radio. All of those who, with spirit of initiative and perseverance, have brought us to the present stage of development have built on the foundations laid by Marconi. Everyone considered him the tutelary genius of their work. |
