Description
Inventore e imprenditore, italiano e britannico, conservatore e innovatore, nazionalista e cosmopolita: in Marconi la coesistenza di inclinazioni e sensibilità apparentemente poco conciliabili produsse una mirabile sintesi di pragmatismo e tensione visionaria. Gli autori ritraggono il suo profilo, evidenziando in maniera inedita la significativa cesura di un percorso biografico indiscutibilmente fuori dall'ordinario. Sono illustrate le tappe della quarantennale carriera di Marconi: da quando, anonimo ventenne, inaugurò l'era delle comunicazioni a distanza senza fili, a quando, uomo pubblico e con notevoli responsabilità diplomatiche, si spense senza mai avere abbandonato sperimentazione e ricerca. Per riscoprire uno dei grandi inventori della modernità, che può essere considerato il primo e principale responsabile delle nostre attuali vite wireless.
