This small fund consists of 29 letters (+ 2 attachments) typewritten and autographed by Guglielmo Marconi, sent by Marconi to his lawyer Jacchia.

The chronology spans from February 23rd 1921 – July 10th 1936.

The letters regard predominantly the management of the Pontecchio estate, taken care of by his lawyer.

They were donated to the Guglielmo Marconi Foundation in March 2009 by a heir, Piero Olivo, Dean of the Department of Engineering at the University of Ferrara (Eugenio was his mother's grandfather).

Giancarlo dalle Donne has edited the Fund's inventory.

Guglielmo Marconi was faced with the contrasts, the difficulties, the obstacles that pioneers meet in all fields of human activity. His discovery, like other great discoveries, did not have at its dawn a peaceable and tranquil acknowledgement. The Marconian conquest represents the highest praise for brilliant, studious and enterprising youths.
