Righi and Marconi at the Liceo Righi

Following the celebrations for the 90th anniversary of its foundation in 1923, the Liceo Righi has organized together with the Marconi Foundation, an historical and scientific workshop for the students of the last three grades. The workshop, which will take place within February and April, recreates the relations between the two famous Bolognese physicists, Augusto Righi and Guglielmo Marconi, focusing on a collection of newspapers articles recently acquired by the Marconi Foundation. These articles and newspapers clippings were selected, preserved and sometimes annotated by Augusto Righi himself and after him by his son Aldo.
The workshop, coordinated by Elisabetta Golinelli and Barbara Valotti, will be located part at the Liceo Righi and part at Villa Griffone, with the participation of Maurizio Bigazzi and Mario Giorgi.
It will end with a public conference Saturday, 12 April, in the Liceo Righi lecture hall, where students will describe their work of research and recording.

28 aprile 2013

Presso il Ristorante La Lampara, nello splendido scenario del porto di Cattolica, è stato presentato il volume fotografico "Attimi. Sulle tracce di Guglielmo Marconi", che propone una ricca galleria di scatti ad opera di Antonio Barbieri e alcuni contributi storico-rievocativi, tra cui "Guglielmo Marconi, uomo di mare".

Ha introdotto l'incontro Luciano Volpi, promotore del volume e infaticabile organizzatore culturale. È quindi intervenuto il Sindaco, Piero Cecchini, annunciando che è in progetto a Cattolica un museo da dedicare alle radiocomunicazioni, proprio a partire dall'illustre pioniere Marconi e dal suo legame con la città di Cattolica.

È stata poi la volta di Wilma Galluzzi, che ha ricordato due personaggi del territorio (Salvatore Galluzzi per la marineria, Augusto Gabellini per le auto) e ha raccontato in sintesi la lunga storia de La Lampara e della famiglia di Massimo Arduini.

È infine intervenuta Barbara Valotti, che ha disegnato un ritratto del celebre inventore, rimarcandone l'indiscutibile vocazione marinara e le ripetute presenze in riviera (tanto che la Villa di Letizia Majani con il tempo è divenuta "Villa Marconi").

Un menu di prelibatezze concepito ad hoc per gli ospiti della Lampara ha concluso egregiamente la serata.

Iniziativa promossa da Fondazione Marconi, Lions club, Banca Popolare Valconca, Avangard Look.

David Sarnoffsarnoff

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.
