1938– Guglielmo Marconi

Guglielmo Marconi (1874–1937) was an Italian inventor and electrical engineer who pioneered long-distance radio transmission. Building upon early electromagnetic theory, he developed the first prac­tical wireless telegraphy system. In 1897, Marconi patented his system in Britain and estab­lished his wireless telegraph company, revolutionizing global maritime communication and saving lives during disasters like the sinking of the Titanic. He made history in 1901 by successfully transmitting the first transatlantic radio signal from England to Canada. His groundbreaking work earned him the 1909 Nobel Prize in Physics, securing his legacy as a father of modern radio.
