GUGLIELMO MARCONI (1874 - 1937)
Marconi was an Italian physicist known for his development of wireless telegraphy. Before the end of 1895 he had transmitted wireless signals a distance of over a mile, an event that many consider to be the birth of radio. In 1909, he received the Nobel prize in physics (1909).
