Marconi was born in Bologna and there are many places that remember him.
Palazzo Marescalchi – birthplace
The palace where the genius was born cannot be visited today, it is home to the Supervision Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscapebut the attentive traveler cannot miss the plaque that remembers him
Here was born Guglielmo Marconi who, on the waves of electricity, first launched the word without the aid of cables and wires from one hemisphere to the other for the benefit of civilized humanity and the glory of the homeland.
The Municipality by decree p. MCMVII.
The Palace is located in the heart of the city center in Via IV Novembre, not far from Palazzo d’Accursio, seat of the Municipality of Bologna.
Palazzo Albergati
During his life he changed many homes including Palazzo Albergati.
Now home to exhibitions, it is exciting to think that among those rooms that now host exhibitions, Marconi gave life to visions that were unthinkable to most people of his time.
Museum of the History of Bologna
Inside the Museum of the History of Bolognatemporarily closed due to a fault – there is a room “Sala Marconi and modern industry”, dedicated to the Nobel Prize which houses films, photographic material, devices and original equipment.
The Museum is located not far from the symbolic monument of the city, the 2 Towers.
G. Pelagalli Museum of Communication and Multimedia
In this museum you can admire a unique exhibition of original pieces created by the scientist as well as a 1:75 scale model of the famous yacht Elettra which the scientist transformed into a floating laboratory.
The Museum is located outside the center near the Ospedale Maggiore.
Industrial Heritage Museum
The museum stops in Bologna can end at the Industrial Heritage Museum – always outside the center – a place that offers a unique perspective on the industrial and scientific history of the region, highlighting the context in which Marconi developed his ideas and innovations.
Charterhouse of Bologna
Immediately after his death he was buried in the Monumental Cemetery of the city of Bolognain the Seventh Cloister, which houses the family tomb.
If you decide to visit it, our advice is to check the availability of guided tours: like all monumental cemeteries, there are many stories and anecdotes that are “hidden” in these places of silence.
