Italian Princess, Elettra Marconi, is coming to Australia in July to commemorate the passing of the man widely recognised as the inventor of Radio - her father, Guglielmo Marconi.
Born in Bologna, Italy, Guglielmo Marconi would have been one-hundred-forty years old today.
After initially submitting patent 7777 for his innovative method of sending and receiving radio signals in 1900, Marconi then in 1901 made the first trans-Atlantic wireless transmission from Cornwall to Newfoundland.
