From Marconi to the Cloud
On September 12 the IEEE Photonics Society Italy Chapter celebrated the legacy of Gugliemo Marconi and commemorate his groundbreaking discoveries that revolutionized the world with a special session in the framework of the Italian Physical Society annual meeting in Bologna. From his pioneering exploration of electromagnetic waves to the contemporary realm of light-based satellite communications, Marconi’s innovations have left an indelible mark on human history.
This year marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of Gugliemo Marconi, Nobel Prize winner for physics in 1909 for the invention of the wireless telegraph. A discovery that not only opened the way to a series of technologies such as radio, wireless and optical communications, but also to the concept of networking itself. After all, Marconi is the man who connected the word.
