Radio Astronomy, which studies radio waves emitted by celestial objects, is the only field of research that can boast direct descent from the Bolognese inventor, through the person of Francesco Paresce, notable astrophysicist and Guglielmo Marconi’s grandson.
It is indeed the exploration of the Universe that represents at the beginning of this new millennium, the last frontier of the Marconi Galaxy, the ultimate frontier, whose slow, partial but progressive discovery with radio waves produces a breathless sensation of astonishment and opens new and unusual perspectives on a future beyond our imagination.

The Gutenberg Galaxy is being eclipsed by the constellation of Marconi. |
