Science Festival - IXth edition Genoa, Palazzo della Borsa Home, work, travel, health and frontiers – both concrete and abstract – trace the borders for a thematic journey made up of objects, photographs, scenery and suggestive atmosphere through which the story of the “Italian genius” is told. From Marconi to Viterbi, from Barsanti and Matteucci to Giacosa, from Grassi to Rizzolatti… the best of Italian scientific research, which has endowed our society with results, organizational and methodological challenges, new ways of thinking and ultimately a better quality of life, is narrated by giving an account of people's needs, reflected in society and in business, thus recognizing their role as protagonist and as the motor of progress and wellbeing. This exhibition has been conceived and organized by the Italian Cultural Institute of New York and the Rosselli Foundation of Rome in collaboration with the Accademia dei Lincei. After its debut in Genoa, it will be transferred to New York until the end of February 2012 and then tour a few other cities before returning to Italy. The section dedicated to Marconi has been curated by the Guglielmo Marconi Foundation.

Marconi App Contest
“The conquest of distance” is the expression used to remember the amazing escalation of the young Marconi who, in only six years, and always through his personal experimentation, extended the radio telegraphic distance from the 2 kilometers of Villa Griffone, in 1895, to the 3.400 kilometers that separates the two shores of the Atlantic, in 1901.To such escalation is dedicated a contest of ideas for developing an Apple and/or Android application, announced by the Marconi Foundation and the Marconi Institute for Creativity.Three projects were chosen: the first presented by Luca Contato, Alessandro Di Lecce and Daniela Arienti; the second by Massimo Divito and Valerio De Felice; and the third by Matteo Gabella.The winning app is now available on Google play.Guglielmo Marconi: Progetto "S" |

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. |
