Sasso Mobile

The madman of Pontecchio, as he was called by the locals, is now the symbol of Sasso Marconi. The scientific experiments he carried out here brought him success and recognition, and even the Nobel Prize. In his father's house, in the room which his grandfather had used to cultivate silkworms, Guglielmo Marconi created his laboratory. Celestini Hill, facing the villa, received the first-ever “wireless” signal in history, heralding the dawn of a new era. Villa Griffone - Marconi Museum, Marconi family home, now a museum dedicated to the illustrious inventor Celestini Hill - location of the first successful experiments in wireless telegraph transmission Marconi Mausoleum Church of Montechiaro - site of the mysterious murder of Marconi's uncle Marconi Park - garden with games based on Marconi's experiments
