Guglielmo Marconi (ɡuʎˈʎɛːlmo marˈkoːni; 25 April 1874-20 July 1937) was an Italian inventor, known for being a major part of inventing long distance radio communication[1] and for his development of Marconi's law and a radio telegraph system. Marconi is often named as the inventor of radio, and he shared the 1909 Nobel Prize in Physics with Karl Ferdinand Braun for their help.[2][3][4] Much of Marconi's work in radio transmission was built upon previous experimentation[5] and the work by others such as Hertz, Maxwell, Faraday, Popov, Lodge, Fessenden, Stone, Bose, and Tesla. As an entrepreneur, businessman, and founder of the The Wireless Telegraph & Signal Company in Britain in 1897, Marconi made a successful business of radio by creating and building on the work of previous experimenters and physicists.[6][7] In 1924, he was ennobled as Marchese Marconi. Back in Italy, he went on to become a member of the Grand Council of Fascism.
