The Marconi Museum houses some rarities of the so-called pioneer era (late 1800's - early 1900's) of wireless telegraphy, as well as various models of industrial production of later date. The uniqueness of the instruments on display is represented by a series of functioning replicas, realized over the years by Maurizio Bigazzi on the basis of accurate historical data and – when possible – utilizing materials and parts of the period. Such wonders of top-notch craftsmanship, identical in aspect and consistency to the antique instruments (long-lost), also perfectly replicate the original mechanisms and thus the normal functioning of the time, allowing the reenactment of the first historical experiments of wireless telegraphy.

In November 2013 the Basili family from Altopascio (Lucca) donated to the Marconi Foundation a collection of antique radios – 64 pieces in total – belonging to Paolo Basili. Shortly before his death, Mr Basili had in fact expressed his intention of leaving to the Marconi Museum “the fruit of his lifelong passion”, as testified by his daughter Natàlia. On 25 April 2014, on the yearly occasion of the Marconi day, the donation was made official by Gabriele Falciasecca and Natàlia Basili.

Marconi was the right man in the right place at the right time. He was the right man because he had the ideal combination of personal characteristics for the job: persistence, daring, technical ability, charisma and flair for public relations. |
