Guglielmo Marconi. Vedere l’invisibile from 8 November until 25 April.

An exhibition in Rome celebrates the extraordinary legacy of Guglielmo Marconi, the Italian inventor and electrical engineer who pioneered the science of radio communication.

Titled Vedere l’invisibile (Seeing the invisible), the exhibition - part of Italy's celebrations to mark the 150th anniversary of Marconi's birth - takes place at the Vittoriano and Palazzo Venezia from 8 November until 25 April 2025.

Known as the father of radio, Marconi developed and marketed the first successful long-distance wireless telegraph and in 1901 broadcast the first transatlantic radio signal.
