Wireless Telegraph (Radio Inventor)

Guglielmo Marconi, (born April 25, 1874, Bologna, Italy—died July 20, 1937, Rome) was an Italian physicist and inventor of a successful wireless telegraph, or radio (1896). In 1909 he received the Nobel Prize for Physics, which he shared with German physicist Ferdinand Braun. He later worked on the development of shortwave wireless communication, which constitutes the basis of nearly all modern long-distance radio.
