The Marconi Museum, dedicated to the origin and the development of wireless communications, is housed in Villa Griffone, once the residence of Guglielmo Marconi. Thanks to the integration of historical equipment, hypertexts, film clips and interactive devices, visitors are offered the possibility of retracing the events that marked Guglielmo Marconi’s training and life. Special focus is given to the period spanning from 1895 (first experiments of wireless telegraphy) to 1901 (transmission of the first radio signals across the Atlantic Ocean). The museum houses a series of accurate working replicas of 19th century scientific equipment displayed in various “exhibition islands” dedicated to some of the fundamental stages in the history of electricity, from the precursors of the history of the radio to naval applications of Marconi’s invention. In the area devoted to broadcasting, several instruments developed for the transmission of speech and music in the 20th century are shown. The exhibition also features some interesting documents concerning Guglielmo Marconi’s education (displayed in the famous "silkworm room"), as well as his career as a businessman in the company he established in 1897 and which still bears his name. Among the many activities promoted by the museum, there is a scientific program addressed to schools that includes a workshop which offers educational experiments concerning the history of electricity, electromagnetism and telecommunications. Villa Griffone, the place of origin of radio communications, awaits its visitors with the appeal of the legend as well as modern exhibition displays. The Marconi Museum is open from Monday to Friday with reservation and every Sunday at 10 am. Closed on Saturday

Overall Ratings

Sulphur’s extraction in Perticara was already practiced since pre-Etruscan times, but the first written sources are dated from the age of Romans. As gunpowder was developed, a new and deeper exploration of our subsoil started up. As an important Malatesta’s domain, Perticara and the other villages have been utilized for the production of this indispensable new war instrument. With the following industrial revolution, numerous societies tried to manage the mining activity, but only in 1917 as the Montecatini arrived, they started up the most important industry in our area, becoming then the largest sulphur mine in Europe. Thousands of men burrowed tens of kilometres of galleries and the rhythm of sulphur production scanned the everyday life of many generations, until the dramatic closure of the mine in 1964. The museum was opened in 1970 as a sign of a will to preserve our mining memento, directly from the miners. Since 2002 is located in the ex sulphurous yard buildings “Certino".
